Don’t you think so?


By the way, today’s 3 min JAPANESE is this.
How to say “the cleanest air on earth” in Japanese.

the cleanest air on earth
δΈ–η•ŒδΈ€γγ‚Œγ„γͺη©Ίζ°—
sekaiichi kireina kuuki

  • the best on earthγ€€β†’γ€€δΈ–η•ŒδΈ€ (せかいいけ / sekaiichi)

  • cleanγ€€β†’γ€€γγ‚Œγ„γͺ (kireina)

  • airγ€€β†’γ€€η©Ίζ°— (くうき / kuuki)

Actually γγ‚Œγ„γͺ (kireina) have various meanings such as
beautiful, lovely, pretty, clean, etc.

Let me share 2 kinds of phrase using γγ‚Œγ„γͺ (kireina).

1.Β  a clean roomγ€€(neat and organized room)
Β Β Β Β  γγ‚Œγ„γͺ部屋
Β Β Β Β Β  kireina heya

2.Β  a beautiful woman
Β Β Β Β  γγ‚Œγ„γͺε₯³ζ€§
Β Β Β Β Β  kireina josei

In English, you use totally different vocabulary in those 2 situations such as clean and beautiful.
But In Japanese, you can use γγ‚Œγ„γͺ (kireina) for both of the situations.


By the way γγ‚Œγ„ is Na-Adjective.
Na-Adjective has to be γ€œγͺ when it qualifies noun.
So you need to put γͺ after γγ‚Œγ„
