Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 78! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And today we're adding two more stationery items to your Japanese vocabulary. Last time we covered ペン and ノート. Luna: Right. Now we're getting into the craftier side. Scissors and glue? Lucas: Exactly. First word: はさみ. Scissors. Let's say it together. はさみ. Luna: はさみ. Lucas: Good. Repeat after me. はさみ. Luna: はさみ. Lucas: And the second word: のり. Glue. Say it with me. のり. Luna: のり. Lucas: のり. Luna: のり. So はさみ is scissors, のり is glue. Got it. Lucas: Now let's use them in simple sentences. If you're at a store and you want to ask for scissors, you can say はさみをください. Please give me scissors. Luna: はさみをください. Lucas: Perfect. And if you need to ask where the glue is: のりはどこですか. Where is the glue? Luna: のりはどこですか. Lucas: Great. Now let's do a little practice. Imagine you're in a classroom. You see a pair of scissors on the desk. Point and say: これははさみです. Luna: これははさみです. Lucas: Yes. And if you see a glue stick over there, you say: あれはのりです. Luna: あれはのりです. Lucas: You're doing great. Now, I want to mention something quickly.

I'll be the store clerk. You say: はさみをください. Luna: はさみをください. Lucas: Here you go. And if you want glue, you can ask: のりはどこですか. Luna: のりはどこですか. Lucas: It's right there, next to the scissors. So let's review. はさみ. Luna: Scissors. Lucas: のり. Luna: Glue. Lucas: はさみをください. Luna: Please give me scissors. Lucas: のりはどこですか. Luna: Where is the glue? Lucas: And one more: これははさみです. Luna: This is scissors. Lucas: あれはのりです. Luna: That is glue. Lucas: Excellent. Now try to make your own sentence. Say: That is scissors. Luna: あれははさみです. Lucas: Perfect. And this is glue. Luna: これはのりです. Lucas: You're getting it. Practice these phrases throughout the day. Say them when you see scissors or glue at home. Luna: I'll put a sticky note on my glue bottle: のり. Lucas: That's a great idea. And that's all for today's episode. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Japanese with Fexingo. Luna: Bye bye!
