Peter: Oh, Natsuko.
Natsuko: What a date! I can’t believe this. What a date!
Peter: It’s so romantic. Drinking on the top of Mt. Fuji…
Natsuko: Yes, yes, yes. I may like the situation with a different person maybe.
Peter: Oh… Wow but again Natsuko, unfortunately it’s not your decision.
Natsuko: No.
Peter: This is up to the listening audience.
Natsuko: Oh…
Peter: Again we need your help.
Natsuko: Oh please.
Peter: So is bachelor #2 the person for Natsuko. Okay, again stop by japanesepod101.com and leave us a post if you think bachelor #2 is the right guy for Natsuko, stop by, leave us a post. If you would like to see Natsuko try bachelor #3, stop by and say bachelor #3.
Natsuko: Hah!
VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Peter: Okay, long, long, long dialogue. What we are going to do now is get into some vocabulary. Here we go.
Natsuko: 到着 (tōchaku)

Peter: Water.
Natsuko: (slow)みず (mizu) (natural speed)水 (mizu)
Peter: The expression Natsuko gave us in the dialogue was
Natsuko: 水お願いします。(Mizu onegai shimau.)
Peter: But when you are in a restaurant, you might want to be a bit more polite when asking for water. So in a restaurant, what expression will you use?
Natsuko: お水お願いします。(O-mizu onegai shimasu.)
Peter: Yep, just add a
Natsuko: お (o)
Peter: In front of
Natsuko: 水 (mizu)
Peter: And there you have it.
Natsuko: 次は、秒 (Tsugi wa, byō)

Peter: Late, slow, it has both meanings.
Natsuko: (slow)おそい (osoi) (natural speed)遅い (osoi)
Peter: So if someone arrives late, we can say
Natsuko: ピーター、遅い!(Pītā, osoi!)
Peter: I said someone, Natsuko.
Natsuko: Oh sorry, sorry as usual.
Peter: Yes. Okay, feel free to use my name interchangeably with anybody. Also if someone is moving slow, you can say

Natsuko: Yes.
Peter: We often hear
Natsuko: ナカタ、遅い!(Nakata, osoi!)
Peter: Oh, yes.
Natsuko: Useful.
Peter: Very useful. I like that one. Natsuko, that’s a great example.

Natsuko: Not really.

Natsuko: He is capable enough.
Peter: Oh…
Natsuko: じゃ、次。景色 (Ja, tsugi. keshiki)
Peter: View.
Natsuko: (slow)けしき (keshiki) (natural speed)景色 (keshiki)
Peter: And in Japan, they have many
Natsuko: 素晴らしい景色 (subarashii keshiki)
Peter: Yes, lots of mountains and in the fall, that’s especially…
Natsuko: Oh yes, I heard that western people refer that every river in Japan looks like a waterfall because mountains are so near to the sea, the water flow is very rapid.
Peter: Yeah, they have – well you will see for yourself one day or you already know.
Natsuko: Umm yes. Very beautiful.
Peter: Okay, next.
Natsuko: 次は、痛い (Tsugi wa, itai)
Peter: Painful, pain but it can also mean ouch.
Natsuko: Yes. 痛い!(Itai!)
Peter: Yes. For example, when Natsuko hits me. 痛い!(Itai!)
Natsuko: I am sorry.
Peter: It kind of looked like it was on purpose but yes you say so, Natsuko.
Natsuko: (slow)いたい (itai) (natural speed)痛い (itai)
Peter: And in the dialogue, what construction did you use, Natsuko?
Natsuko: 痛いし、(itai shi,)
Peter: Now we had a lot of questions about this し (shi).
Natsuko: Oh yes.
Peter: And what this means is end among other things.
Natsuko: Yes, right.
Peter: So I am in pain and so on.
Natsuko: Yes. 痛いし、(itai shi,)
Peter: Okay. Next.
Natsuko: 息 (iki)
Peter: Breath.

Peter: And this was paired with
Natsuko: 苦しい (kurushii)
Peter: Painful.
Natsuko: (slow)くるしい (kurushii) (natural speed)苦しい (kurushii)
Peter: This phrase together was
Natsuko: 息が苦しい (iki ga kurushii)
Peter: So I am having trouble breathing.
Natsuko: Yes. Poor Natsuko.
Peter: Poor, poor Natsuko.
Natsuko: 次は、メートル (Tsugi wa, mētoru)

Peter: Beer.
Natsuko: (slow)びーる (bīru) (natural speed)ビール (bīru)
Peter: Okay, and don’t confuse this with the word for building, which is
Natsuko: ビル (biru)
Peter: Yes. ビール (bīru) has the long vowel.
Natsuko: Yes.
Peter: And finally
Natsuko: ワイン (wain)
Peter: Wine.
Natsuko: (slow)わいん (wain) (natural speed)ワイン (wain)
Peter: Okay, and we cannot recommend drinking on the top of Mt. Fuji.
Natsuko: Yes, you better not.
Peter: The air up there is pretty thin. So some people bring up oxygen just in case.
Natsuko: Yes, right.
