過ぎるという分法は本当に便利ですね!

「何に前」という言葉を勉強になりました!

I also thought it was weird that they said 終電 because it Japan I always heard the train conductors say 終点. But I realize now that 終電の意味はlast train while 終点 means last stop! 分かりました! ありがとう!

冗談にとって、「ごちそさまです」といってます! :mrgreen:

The money in the photo is mine. I wanted to include 5,000 yen bill, but I didn’t have one at that time. Next time I want to show you 5,000 yen bill.

デボンさん、 コメントありがとうございます!
「何に前」は、「何人前」のことですね :smile:

watermenさん
どんだけだよ comes from the buzzword “どんだけ~” which is often used by young people. I think it is the exclamation which has a broad meaning and can be used when you are surprised or is criticizing.

Good lesson, but is that just me, or does Gomi-san have a dialectal accent? Fukui maybe?

When I miss the train, I just go to a bar and drink until the first train. Then I go home and sleep all day. :mrgreen:

VRE の 終電 は ウアシングトン DC の ユニオンステシオン で 午後 七時十五分前 に 出発 です。

ゆっくり歩き過ぎるは駄目ですよ。 終電乗るとき、私はいつも駅で終電を待ちます。 よく駅まで早くです。
