In the kanjiban it says 窓際、madogiwa, and in the hiragana, it says shinpin, and in the english neither word is translated. This table near the window vs. This brand new table.....

The twist of this story is, Agnes didn't know the furniture she previously ordered at IKEA would arrive in a box and it needs assembling by herself. It is probably because she has never bought a thing at IKEA ever.. I hope you get my idea. I can answer your question better in Japanese: アグネスさんは今までIKEAで家具を買ったことがなかったので、家具がダンボールで届いて、その中の部品を自分で組み立てないといけないことを知らなかったのです。 btw.. I have never heard of the furniture shop named IKEA.. does it really exist in Tokyo or somewhere in Kanto area? ... just wondering.. matt san…

Like most of the intermediate lessons, I can pick up most of the key words and get a general idea of what they're saying, but I need to get everything else in between! Johnさん, glad I could help. ヒューゴ Annieさん,
