To protect students' privacy, the Q&A section is not included in this recording.

Below are the questions asked during class.


(1) How do you say "outside/outskirts of [City]?"

Here is how you phrase it.

The phrase "[City name] + ใใ‚“ใ“ใ† (kinkoo)" can now be used as a standalone noun, so the particle "ใฎ" is optional.

[City] +ย ใใ‚“ใ“ใ†(kinkoo)

OR

[City] +ย ใฎ(NO)ย +ย ใใ‚“ใ“ใ†(kinkoo)

They are both commonly used.

(2) How do you say, "I am 50 miles north of [City]?"

Here's a structure you can use. It's worth noting that "miles" aren't used in Japan, so you might want to convert the distance to "kilometers" (ใ‚ญใƒญ or kilo) if you're speaking to a Japanese person.

(3) How do you say "Southeast"?

Please take a look at the diagram of directions below that shows how the reading of Kanji changes when two directions are combined, such as South and East.

[Example]

  • South: ใฟใชใฟ(minami)
  • East: ใฒใŒใ— (higashi)

โ†’ When you combine the two, it's ใชใ‚“ใจใ† (nantoo)
