I love the lessons, but please be careful that the spoken english matches the spoken japanese. It’s very confusing in lessons like this when they don’t match, especially at the beginner level. I’ve come across this a few times now, and it always confuses me for a while until i can get somewhere i can read the lesson notes and see that something was left out.

thanks.

Anyways, I checked a couple of reference books, and both agree that the hiragana せ is derived from the kanji 世. Score one for Yuichi and Naomi…

Please use “~te oku”

私は、部屋を掃除しておきます。
Watashi wa heya o souji shite okimasu.

僕が言ったのは、

Yuichi: じゃ、そういうことにして置きましょう。

です And the meaning you guessed is correct!!　すごいですね！！！

I agree with you, Maxiwawaさん. そういうことにして置きましょう is tricky expression

そういうことにして置きましょう Let’s leave it there, (because we need to move on.)

→そういうことにしましょう。Let’s leave it there.

You can use these expressions when you agree to do or decide to do something.
For example,

A:今年は東京に行きたいです。
B:じゃあ、そういうことにしましょう。

A:I want to go to Tokyo.
B:OK. It’s decide.

ゆいち先生おめでとう！最初の作文！

In the intro, we heard an example of 〜ておく。ちょっと分かりませんけど。

We heard:

Peter: It’s the debut. おめでとうございます。
Yuichi: じゃ、そう言う事で。。。して置きましょう。

What’s Yuichi先生 saying? My guess is that it’s “let’s leave it there” with the implication being “let’s leave it there, (because we have to get on with something else)”.

This was quite a difficult use of 〜て置く!
