| INTRODUCTION |
| James: Action Idioms |
| James: Hi everyone, and welcome back to JapanesePod101.com. I'm James. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa! |
| James: This is Must-Know Japanese Slang Words and Phrases, Season 1, Lesson 24. In this lesson, you'll learn action idioms. |
| James: You will see how Japanese people love to make new words, using the almighty verb, |
| Risa: する. |
| James: They're such surprising expressions! |
| SLANG EXPRESSIONS |
| James: The expressions you will be learning in this lesson are: |
| Risa: チンする (chin suru) |
| Risa: ポイする (poi suru) |
| Risa: お茶する (o-cha suru) |
| Risa: チラ見する (chirami suru) |
| James: Risa, what's our first expression? |
| Risa: チンする (chin suru) |
| James: literally meaning "to do "ting"." But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "to heat up in a microwave." |
| Risa: [SLOW] チンする [NORMAL] チンする |
| James: Listeners, please repeat. |
| Risa: チンする |
| [pause - 5 sec.] |
| James: Use this slang expression when you indicate an action of heating up some food or drink in a microwave. This word is a combination of the onomatopoeia |
| Risa: チン (chin), |
| James: which is the sound of a microwave, and the verb |
| Risa: する (suru), |
| James: meaning "to do." However, modern microwaves don't sound "ting" anymore. |
| James: Now let's hear an example sentence. |
| Risa: [NORMAL] カレーがあるから、チンして食べて。 [SLOW] カレーがあるから、チンして食べて。 |
| James: "You have curry and rice, so microwave it before you eat." |
| Risa: [NORMAL] カレーがあるから、チンして食べて。 |
| James: Okay, what's the next expression? |
| Risa: ポイする (poi suru) |
| James: literally meaning "to do throwing away." But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "to throw away." |
| Risa: [SLOW] ポイする [NORMAL] ポイする |
| James: Listeners, please repeat. |
| Risa: ポイする |
| [pause - 5 sec.] |
| James: Use this slang expression when you indicate the act of throwing away something no longer needed. This is a combination word of the onomatopoeia |
| Risa: ポイ (poi), |
| James: which means "throwing away nonchalantly," and |
| Risa: する (suru), |
| James: meaning "to do." |
| James: Now let's hear an example sentence. |
| Risa: [NORMAL] この空き缶、ゴミ箱にポイしてくれる？ [SLOW] この空き缶、ゴミ箱にポイしてくれる？ |
| James: "Can you put this empty can in the trash?" |
| Risa: [NORMAL] この空き缶、ゴミ箱にポイしてくれる？ |
| James: Okay, what's our next expression? |
| Risa: お茶する (o-cha suru) |
| James: literally meaning "to do tea." But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "to have tea or coffee." |
| Risa: [SLOW] お茶する [NORMAL] お茶する |
| James: Listeners, please repeat. |

| Risa: [SLOW] チラ見する [NORMAL] チラ見する |
| James: Listeners, please repeat. |
| Risa: チラ見する |
| [pause - 5 sec.] |
| James: Use this slang expression when you indicate the action of glancing at someone or something. It's usually used for someone or something that you shouldn't see or look at openly. This word is made up of the word |
| Risa: チラ見 (chirami), |
| James: which is an abbreviation of the phrase |
| Risa: チラッと見る (chira tto miru), |
| James: meaning "glancing look" and the verb |
| Risa: する (suru), |
| James: which means "to do." There's a slang in the opposite meaning, |
| Risa: ガン見する (ganmi suru), |
| James: "to stare at something." |
| James: Now let's hear an example sentence. |
| Risa: [NORMAL] 彼はよく彼女のことをチラ見している。 [SLOW] 彼はよく彼女のことをチラ見している。 |
