Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today’s conversation is a little strange, Yuuji called his mother, but at first his mother didn’t recognize him. He was really hurt by this and is trying to figure out why. His wife, Satomi, isn’t much help. She says she’d never make the same mistake, but her reason is pretty funny. We’ll look at using -tari to discuss people’s habits and tendencies as well as demo to make polite discussions.  After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, maybe this couple knows each other too well. Or maybe they’re a match made in heaven. You be the judge. As for these grammar points, they’re both interesting twists on some basic 3 kyuu points. So this should be a good one for those of you boning up on you 3 kyuu grammar.

My GF explains it like this:

POI = ISH
RASHII = LIKE

So

Kodomopoi = childish
but
Kodomorashii = child-like

…of course, there are a ton of exceptions (e.g., iropoi) but that seems like a good rule of thumb, no?

My friends at Rock Meisha use poi and rashii the same way too. But no one Japanese person agrees exactly with another. Quite funny really.

今日、レッソンは楽しっぽいですね。 :mrgreen:  I think I used ppoi wrong ah well:???:
