Learn Japanese on Your Own Terms at JapanesePod101.com! Today is our final chapter in the unagi story. It seems that having arrived in Japan, our slimy friends have found nothing better to do than play pachinko (what else would unagi do in Japan?). As we already introduced how to use shi hajimeru and shi oeru to describe beginning and finishing actions, we will now look at -te shimau, which is used to describe actions which are fully completely - often with a tinge of disappointment. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
