Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com. Are you allergic to anything? Some people get mild cases of hay fever. Other people are deathly allergic to things, like peanuts. Do you know how to talk about your allergies in Japanese? Also, can you ask someone if he or she is allergic to anything? If you can’t, you need this newbie Japanese lesson. Being able to talk about what you are allergic to can be part of casual conversation, but it can also be vitally important. In addition to —ni arerugī ga arimasu (I’m allergic to…), you’ll learn how to list items using “also” in Japanese. For example, you can say, “I’m allergic to dust and pollen, and I also get hay fever.” And, as always, this Japanese lesson contains a number of helpful vocabulary words and expressions.

Learn Japanese, allergy

(Just to make sure I did it right: My boyfriend is allergic to fish, cats, vegetables, nuts, and pollen. It’s a tough situation! As for me, I’m allergic to dust; because of that, I don’t like cleaning the house.)

こんいちは みなさん!

i’m a recent member so i’ve been trying to play a lot of catch-up while also listening to the current series. Eric-san and Naomi-sensei mentioned in this cast to post any questions. I have a few that have been lingering already. I apologize in advance if it’s been covered and I just missed it. I’ll just state 1 for now. :twisted:

I was watching a show the other day and to state 1 p.m., I’m pretty sure 十三じ was used. I was expecting to use new found knowledge ごご 一じ. I’m wondering what’s more common to hear 24 hour time or 12 hour time in japan?

thanks in advance!

わたしは アレルギーが ありません。

watashi wa arerugi ga arimasen. Lucky me, I don’t have any allergies.
でも かふんしょう が あります。 
Demo, kafun shou ga arimasu. However, I do have hay fever. (Occasionally).

Here’s a question: if this is the last episode of Season 4, when does Season 5 begin? Having listened to Seasons 1-3 after starting with Season 4, I really sense that Seasons 2 and 3 were one story line. I do hope that Rori-san will do more in Season 5, and not get run over by a bus driven by the ghost of Faburizio! :grin:

Honestly, I really appreciate the functional language of things like the recent lessons (how to say “I’m allergic to…” is great practical teaching. In the beginner lesson today, Peter-san talked about how he used “what’s the opposite of x” to learn new vocabulary. Great. When I learned French, the most important phrase was “Comment dit-on x?” (How do you say x?) I’ve yet to learn that phrase. I imagine that it would be most helpful.

ありがとう

Cardin says:

Is を アレルギ correct as well?

I’m trying to differentiate between particles… I can’t tell the difference between using ni and wo here..

wo is an object particle implying an action applied to something right? :sad: Don’t quite understand..

avatar
Jieying says:

i don;t know about に
but を usually preceeds verbs (excluding 行きます、来ますand 帰ります。)

example:
パンを食べます。
音楽を聞きます。

since アレルギーis not a verb, i think we cannot use を before アレルギー。

correct me if i am wrong.

Naomi says:

Cardin-san
Sorry for the late replay. :sad:
I’m allergic to [ ] =Watashi wa [ ] ni arerugii ga arimasu.
As Jieying-san kindly explained, you can not useを/o for アレルギー

ni as in “Nattsu ni arerugii ga arimasu” I’m allergic to nuts”
corresponds to “to” or “toward” in English.

I hope this helps.

Jieying-san
Thank you for answering Cardin-san’s question!! :razz:

こんいちは, hugues c です.

I Have a question about the kanjis from this lesson. One of the kanji is KA (flower) like in kafunshou, is it interchangeable with the KA (flower) as in Fuyuka san?

ありがとう,
hugues c

Naomi says:

hugues c-san
Do you mean that Fuyuka from Nohongo Dojo series??:???:
If so, her Kanji are 冬”winter” and 果”fruit.” As you can see her kanji for “ka” is not as same as the kanji for flower. :sad:

If you’re talking about other Fuyuka, there are 2 kanji pronounced as “ka” and meaning “flower.” For people’s name, you have to confirm how to write one’s name in Kanji all the time. :wink: Tricky isn’t it? :lol:
However I’m sure there are lot of Fuyuka-san(冬花さん) who uses kanji for “ka” meaning “flower” like in kafunshou. :razz:

hugues c says:

こんいちは Naomi san,

I’am a shame of my mistake… I meant Fuyuka san from nihongo dojo :oops: I guess I need to study my kanji some more…

ありがとう,
hugues c

Naomi says:

hugues c-san
I think 冬花(”winter” and “flower”) is more common combination than 冬果(”winter” and “fruit”) . :wink:
