So, we have
青 = green
年 = year(s)
Green in years –> a young person (youth)

The reason I asked was my dictionary has the same translation for both words. But it's all clear now! :grin: Miho san

It usually indicates the people who is a the age of 15-25 years old. ex) 青年海外協力隊　（せいねんかいがいきょうりょくたい） →Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers But I personally feel that this word is used for boys more often. ex) 好青年（こうせいねん） → good young man 　　ハンサムな青年　→　handsome-looking young man 　 男子 means "male". The meaning was explained well in the lesson I think :smile: hope it helps! > Piet san
Good point!

青年 means young generation including both boy and girl. It usually indicates the people who is a the age of 15-25 years old.

ex) 青年海外協力隊　（せいねんかいがいきょうりょくたい）
→Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers

But I personally feel that this word is used for boys more often.

ex) 好青年（こうせいねん） → good young man
　　ハンサムな青年　→　handsome-looking young man
　

男子 means “male”. The meaning was explained well in the lesson I think :smile:

hope it helps!

If you have any other specific questions, let us know! Mina-san,

All I have to say is that the TV people make it look too easy. I tried two different lighting geometries and didn't like either. But I think I can find a happy medium. I really need to smooth out the dialog and focus my energy on the people at the other end of the camera lens (so to speak). Right now I am very stiff. もういちど　やってみます。 ジョン みんなさん、
