Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and as always, Luna is here with me. Luna: Hey everyone! Last time we learned 腕 and 手 — arm and hand. Today are we going further down? Lucas: Exactly! Today it's all about the leg and foot. The word for leg or foot is 足. Luna: あし. That sounds simple enough. Lucas: Yes, 足 can mean both leg and foot depending on context. Let's practice: 足. Luna: 足. Lucas: Good. Now, if you hurt your leg, you can say 足が痛い. 足が痛い. Luna: 足が痛い. My leg hurts. That's useful. Lucas: Very. Now, the next word is 膝 — knee. Luna: ひざ. Knee! I actually bumped my knee yesterday. Lucas: Oh no! So you could say 膝が痛い. Luna: 膝が痛い. That's perfect. Lucas: Let's say both together: 足 and 膝. Repeat after me: 足, 膝. Luna: 足, 膝.

Lucas: Great question. Ankle is 足首. Luna: あしくび. Literally foot neck? Lucas: Exactly! 足 means foot, 首 means neck — so foot neck. Very logical. Luna: I love that. 足首. Lucas: Now let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're at a doctor's office and you point to your knee and say ここが痛いです. Luna: ここが痛いです. And if it's my ankle? Lucas: You can say 足首が痛いです. Luna: 足首が痛いです. Lucas: Perfect. Let's review all three: 足, 膝, 足首. Luna: 足, 膝, 足首. Got it! Lucas: One more time: 足が痛い, 膝が痛い, 足首が痛い. Luna: 足が痛い, 膝が痛い, 足首が痛い. I think I can handle a doctor visit now. Lucas: That's the goal!
