Japanese SRS sentences #6
科学の進歩は素晴らしい
かがく の しんぽ は すばらしい ＝ ”The progress of science is magnificent.”
立派な医者になった
りっぱな いしゃ に なった ＝ ”(someone) became a splendid doctor”
浴びるように酒を飲む
あびる ように さけ を のむ ＝ “to drink like a fish” if you were to translate by idiom. A direct translation would be something like “to drink like your bathing in it.”
あなたの名字は何ですか
あなた の みょうじ は なん です か ＝ ”What is you surname?” For some reason I’ve been learning Japanese for about a year now and this was the first time I’ve seen the word “myouji.” I guessed from the kanji that it would be like, “What are the characters that compose your name?”….wrong! 笑
