重々しい＝おもおもしい＝serious
[フランス料理」という通常のカタカナ表記 は特別の語感は生じないが、漢字で「佛蘭 料理」と書くと、漢字の重々しい雰囲気で 級そうな感じになる。 Although ”French food" as normally written in katakana doesn't produce any kind of special feeling, when "French food" is written in Kanji, a serious atmosphere high class kind of feeling is produced. 漂う＝ただよう＝drift about 店の看板が「佛蘭西料理」となっていると、 値段が心配になって店の前で財布の中身を調 べたくなるような高級感が漂う。 If the shop's sign is "French Food" written in Kanji, there's a sense that the restaurant is high class, you become worried about the price, like want ot check the contents of your wallet when you're in front of the restaurant. 気概＝きがい＝strong spirit あえてその表記を使った店主の気概も感じら れるような気がする。 There's a feeling that a a shopkeeper using this kind of bold writing would have a strong spirit. 「カレーライス」でも「カレー」でもなく、 特に「カリー」という表記を打ち出した看板 にも、どこにでもあるカレーとは違う本場の 味を主張している雰囲気があり、客のほうも 店主の自負を感じるかもしれない。 Even for "kareeraisu" or "Karee" (Japanese curry), particularly "Karii" when it's put out on a sign, there's a scence that the place is claiming their flavor is different when compared to a place that uses "Karee." *the normal spelling 登場＝とうじょう＝entry on stage 東京にイタリア料理のピッツアの点が登場し た昭和三十年代中ごろには、まだ「ぴざ」と いう語はなく、」「ピッツア」という用語は 単に珍しい食べ物をさす外来語であるという 以外に、特別な語感は働かなかった。 About the time of 30th year of Showa (1956-1966) Italian "Pittua" shops becan to appear in Tokyo, still there wasn't the word "Piza" (normal word for Pizza). The term Pitua was simply nothing more than than a borrowed for for a rare food, and the word didn't impart any special feeling. が、その後、その料理が広まり、特にアメリ カ型の宅配ピザがはやりだしてからは、日本 中「ピザ」という語が一般的になり、今では 「ピッツア」と呼ぶ人はめったに見かけない 。 However later, this type of food spread, because, specifically, the American style delvery pizza became a fad, thoughout Japan 'Piza' became generally used, and people using the word "Pittua" could rarely be found. 掲げる＝かかげる＝to print 本場＝ほんば＝genuine そんじゃそこら＝here and there 自負＝じふ＝conceit そういう時代になった今、あえて「ピッツア 」という本場イタリアのことばを看板に掲げ る店を見ると、そんじょそこらのピザとは違 うとする職人の自負を感じる。 As that period became the current time, because stores with signs printed with "Pitua" for the geniune Italian word could be seen, the pride of these shop owners compared to the normal Pizza restaurants could be felt. こどわり＝fixation ある種＝あるしゅ＝certain その語を特に選んで使う客のほうにも、ある 種のこだわりがあるのだろう。 If this word is specially chosen for the customer, maybe there is a kind of fastidiousness. ことばは情報とともに、そういう自負やこだ わりをも相手に送り届ける。 The word, together with the information sends to the recipient a sense of pride and fastidiousness. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Your consistent posting of these sentences is very impressive. Do you actually know what they all mean when you read them or do you have to translate a lot of the words?
What other types of activities do you do to practise Japanese and Finnish? I know they're both your heritage languages but is one more important than the other to you? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

annakko=advance
äänestää=to vote enemmän=more Presidentinvaalien ennakkoäänestyksessä äänestettiin enemmän kuin edellisissä presidentinvaaleissa. Voting in the presidential election by absentee ballot has been higher than the last presidential election. Ennen=before Ennen vaalipäivää äänesti 32,7 prosenttia niistä ihmisistä, joilla on oikeus äänestää. Before election day 32.7 percent of the people, who had the right to vote, voted Edellisissä presidentinvaaleissa ennen vaalipäivää äänesti 30,7 prosenttia. In the previous presidential election 30.7 percent voted before election day. sitten=ago Edelliset presidentinvaalit olivat kuusi (6) vuotta sitten. The last presidential elections were 6 years ago. voidaan=(passive) ennakko=advance määrä=amount, rate peruste=reason, basis miettiä=ponder, consider yhteensä=toghether, altogether antavat=antaa=give Ennakkoäänien määrän perusteella voidaan jo nyt miettiä, kuinka paljon ihmiset antavat yhteensä ääniä presidentinvaaleissa. The basis of the advance voting percentage, can already now be deduced from how many people cast votes between votes in presidential elections. koko=size, rather, entire Ennakkoäänien perusteella koko äänestysprosentti on ehkä noin 74 prosenttia. On the basis of the size of the pre-voting, the polling percentage will perhaps be about 74 percent. Presidentinvaalit ovat ensi sunnuntaina. Presidential elections are next Sunday. Selkouutiset kuullaan sunnuntaina vaalien takia Radio Suomessa vasta kello 23.03. Selkouutiset for Sunday election is heard on Radio Finland only at 11:03PM. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

>Do you actually know what they all mean when you read them or do you have to
>translate a lot of the words? The Japanese I know pretty much most of the words except the ones I post definitions here. The odd thing is that even knowing the words and the kanji, sometimes the sentences are still difficult to parse. But I have a pretty good sized vocabulary in Japanese. In Finnish I still really depend on dictionaries, and I look up a lot of stuff. I think this system of translating like this, it is helping me memorize words, though I still have a long way to go with learning vocabulary in Finnish. >What other types of activities do you do to practise Japanese and Finnish? I take a class in Japanese and they give us quite a bit of material to study during the week. I have to also work on drawing Chinese characters. For Finnish I listen to Selkouutiset, after I've translated it, and I also watch random programs using my YLE iPhone App, which has plenty of cartoons, drama and news to watch. We also get Japanese news on TV here in the USA, and I often do chat rooms in Japanese. >I know they're both your heritage languages but is one more important than the other >to you? Oh I don't know. More important? I think they're different. Finnish I heard more as a child, so I think it has more memories associated with it. Japanese I'm at quite a bit of a higher level than Finnish, and I've been studying actively longer, so I'm a little more confident in chat rooms or posting Japanese on Facebook and things like this. 1 person has voted this message useful |
