Mina-san, have you had a chance to use of these expressions yet?

Actually, I heard kidoairaku once. I was watching the Morning Musume variety show, Hello! Morning (yes, I know it’s stupid, but I like it), and there was this guy who had to teach the girls how to act, so he told them about the four main feelings, the kidoairaku, and demonstrated them all while imitating Bruce Lee, who, in that guy’s opinion, showed these four emotions well on stage.

This yojijukugo series is the best! I used the newest one immediately.
This a.m. after listening to #10 for the first time, one of my kittens (8 weeks gold) got his head stuck in the slats of a chair and could have strangled. Ano neko-chan kikiippatsu datta yo!

I love these lessons !

SashTheRed-san,
I wish I could see that guy’s demonstration! It must be funny! Could you understand what “kidoairaku” means by his demonstration?
Allen Cocks-san,
Your sentence is perfect!! Poor neko-chan!!
Eric-san,
Thank you very much for your warm comment! Please try to use the expressions you learned.

レッスンを聞きながら、例文をAnkiに入力し始めました。慣用語のデックはもう100文以上です。あごが出たですね。でも、ちょっと分からないところがあります。「罵詈雑言」や「曖昧模糊」のような常用以外の漢字を使うのはひらがなで書いたらいいですか。今まで「鼠」「蟻」「狸」などを習ってきますが、「罵」などを使う機会が少なすぎかもしれないので、習うべきかどうかよく分からないんですけど。。。

Mayumi-san,
When I watched him talking about it, I pretty much assumed that it’s like a general term for emotions. Naturally, since it’s not a Japanese-teaching show, he didn’t speak about different phrase you can make with it, like kidoairaku ga hageshii and so on, but just used it as a term in acting jargon.

ジャービジさん
四字熟語を平仮名で書いてしまうと意味が分からなくなってしまうため、平仮名で書かれることははないと思います。ただ、普通読み方の難しい漢字には振り仮名をつけるのが普通です。何を目指したいかによると思いますが、罵詈雑言(ばりぞうごん) 曖昧模糊(あいまいもこ)を「書けるようになる」必要は私は個人的にはないと思います。読み方が分かって、意味が分かれば十分なのではないでしょうか。

SashTheRed-san,
Thank you for explaining to me how he was! Did he look like “kidoairaku ga hageshii hito”?

Mayumi-san,
Hehe, not too much. I suppose he’s some sort of comedian or something. There’s a lot of those in Japan if I’m not wrong.
