Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Some questions really startle a person. You can’t quite believe them. Sometimes, people ask questions so peculiar that you just don’t know what to do. It was an innocent discussion of cars: what you like, what you don’t like. Then out of the blue, your friend asks in Japanese, “Is a Lamborghini a type of Suzuki” How could anyone mix up Japanese sedans with the hottest Italian sports car on the planet? She’s your friend, and she’s really cute, so you can’t really break out laughing; that would be insulting. What do you say to a question like that? Maybe you misunderstood her…you don’t speak Japanese very fluently – yes, that must be it! Probably the best thing to do is to just try to keep a straight face and ask her in Japanese, “Do you like Italian sports cars…such as the Lamborghini? They are a lot sportier than Suzukis.” Giggling, she answers in Japanese, “Oh, my mistake. Yes, I like Lamborghinis a lot!” Well, it doesn’t really matter what she knows or doesn’t know; she’s a great singer, a good friend, and don’t forget, really cute and likeable.
