Lots of history there. Part of Paul Revere's ride went through this city. Also though it's neighbor, Concord, Massachusetts. If you get a chance, go through there. Especially around the Fall when all the leaves have changed color. Beautiful! Lexington, Massachusetts is a pretty cool place to visit. Lots of history there.

I think they must have updated the pdf it reads “dare ga ii desu ka ne” now.

isshokenmei and isshoukenmei
both mean very hard, with all one’s might. But they use different kanji and one has a long “shou”.

一生懸命 [いっしょうけんめい]isshoukenmei　(long sylable)
“one life risking life”

一所懸命 [いっしょけんめい] isshokenmei
“one place risking life”
(also has meaning of sticking at living in one place)

does that make sense? hopefully you can see the different kanji here.

As for your question about 一生懸命, or should I say 一所懸命.:wink: The older version is 一所懸命・isshokenmei. The newer version is 一生懸命・isshōkenmei. You'll notice a different 2nd character, as well as a short vowel vs. the long vowel. The 2nd character in the older version means place, while the 2nd character in the newer version means life. Was this helpful? Hanspeter-san, you are not totally wrong. Both work here. :wink: Barbara-san, thank you for pointing that out! :oops: All taken care of.
