i’ve got wind, no i mean a cold.
December 29th, 2005 by heatherok,
i’ve been in Japan for a little over a week now. and upon arrival i developed the worst flu i’ve had in ages. i’ve been exhausted, and had a fever, and have been generally a poor tourist. but i must say they have some lovely things for you when you get sick. like this yummy lemony hot drink. and hot drinks in the vending machines.
oh dear there’s simply far too much to fit into one post.
the japanese isn’t coming fast and furious, since i have been hibernating somewhat, and actually depending on ronan-sensei a bit too much. i think i have to request that mr. fluent should force me to speak more often, instead of speaking for me. i’m sure he’d prefer it, and it would help me learn japanese.
when you have a cold here, you actually have wind, so ronan-sensei tells me.
風 = かぜ = wind
風邪 = かぜ = a cold
私は風邪をひいた。
わたし は かぜ を ひいた。
I caught a cold.
And I hear this alot (which i’m probably spelling wrong).
だいじょうぶ です か。
daijyoubu desu ka
are you ok?
to which I respond: だいじょうぶです。

Yay, you made it out Japan already! I’m jealous beyond words. Your Japanese knowledge is going to -explode-. Which, I hope, will mean more frequent posts full of your usual insight so we can learn along with you!
おだいじに!

you spelled it right. the kanji for だいじょうぶ is 大丈夫.
easy to remember. good luck.
