Do you like short???

Do you use abbreviated words now?, do you like to use one? And how many abbreviated words do you know? Recently, Japanese language was divided into two patterns which are abbreviated words and dialect. They are used by all of our generation and Japanese language is changed by people who live in Japan now.
In my opinion, how to talk Japanese between young people’s Japanese and older people’s Japanese is totally different. For example, young Japanese people use abbreviated words such like “Uzai” which means noisy and “Kimoi” which means weird. They are one of the famous abbreviated words in Japan. The words “Kimoi” is “Kimochiwarui” in correct Japanese and “Uzai” is the sort form of Urusai. Actually, these words were my first time to use abbreviated words in my life. At that time, I felt that I am cool because I am using abbreviated words. How about now? I use those words every time and everyday when I talk to my friends. However, new abbreviation and new kinds of abbreviation are appearing. We called the words slang in Japan.
The reason why we use slang are to enjoy conversation more and to make conversation shorter. It effects making friends a lot. I have seen the situation that when my one of the friends talked with using slang to a person who didn’t know what that slang meant, my friends said to him that he is not a modern Japanese, he is old. The other mean is if you know slang a lot, you can make friends a lot. I agree with this because I have many friends who use slang with me and enjoy our conversation more. Sometimes, we can make our slang by ourselves then we can keep in secret the words between us. It is very easy to make it and it makes us that we are together every time or we are friends forever.
My grandparents get mad at me when I use the words for young people. According to them, they don’t want to admit that these words are Japanese, it is ashamed to use them as same Japanese. But what is the words for old Japanese? I think the words for old people are dialects. So, all of nation in Japan might not understand, because the dialects are different for each prefecture and each area. In Wakayama where my hometown is, there are many dialects too. For example, “Inu” which means “dog” in Japanese, means “come back” in my hometown.
It is interesting to know the dialect there are some books written about the dialect. I researched about when we all started to make the abbreviations. In the book “Japanese history” written by Nakami Yamaguchi, the author said Japanese words have been changing since Heian era. The changing language affects on Japanese society today. I felt not only knowing the history was changed is important but also knowing what happened at that time including the words is more important because we don’t know exactly about. In fact, there are some associations to protect dialects so that they don’t over time.
In conclusion, we cannot live without words. Words is very important tool in our life. Therefore both of slangs and dialects are important. Actually, slangs and dialects shows us how history is changing. We can learn how history is long from the words. But, as I said, dialects are becoming disappear now. Who is going to protect those words? The answer is us. We should protect these words with everyone. But I don’t know the dialect and I am using slang now, so I cannot do anything with it. I like to use slang anyway because it is easy to make our conversation more fun and stylish.

Love Sweets.

A few days ago I went to Sweets Paradise with my friend in Shinsaibashi.

The first, we went shopping around Shinsaibashi, but we did not buy anything there.

We roamed over there because we had a lot of time.

we went to Takashimaya, Daimaru, Big Camera, Spotaka and so on.

Then we went to Sweets Paradise.

There are many sweets and other foods.

For example, cakes, pudding, spaghetti and curry and so on.

When I ate it I thought how delicious.

We ate so much.

When I left the store I met a friend.

I was very surprised.

He was also very surprised.

Then we met Risa in front of OPA.

I was surprised again.

I enjoyed eating very much because I went to Sweets Paradise after a long absence.

I want to go Sweets Paradise again.

Christmas.

Christmas is coming soon.

I like Christmas because I can eat a lot of sweets.

I love sweets so much.

And my parents give me a gift.

Actually, I believed Santa until I was 8 years old.

I loved to get gift from them.

it made be happy.

I usually spend the day with my family or friends or girlfriend.

Christmas is special day for us.

In Japan, there are so many illumination and Christmas trees.

I think these are so romantic to see.

If I have my child in the future I will be Santa for my child.

Doing those things may give my child a lot of dream.

Everyone is looking forward to Christmas because it makes us happy.

It is one of a beautiful days during a year.

Tsutenkaku(^_^)☆

I went to Tsutenkaku to see night view last Saturday with my friends.

We went to there by my friend's car.

Actually, we were not supposed to go to Tsutenkaku.

We were going to go to other place.

But even if I was in his car, I could see a lot of beautiful night view from a car.

I was very excited because it was so beautiful.

I could see USJ, Kyosera dome, highway, and so on.

I think the view from a car is totally different from a train.

When I saw the night view from Tsutenkaku I thought what a big city Osaka is.

If you have a lot of time you should go there.

Kiyomizudera!!!

Two days ago,I went to Kiyomizu Temple to see colored leaves.

I have been there a year ago.

When I reached there I felt that I was very nice to visit and see colored leaves again.

i like to see the view.

Especially, in fall we definitely should go to Kyoto to see colored leaves.

Kyoto is known as one of the beautiful buildings in Japan.

Every time when I visit Kyoto, there are many foreigners because temple and shrine are very traditional buildings in Japan.

In spring, we can see cherry blossom.

In summer, we can see so many green.

In winter, we can see the trees which are covered with snow.

I think these are attractive to see too.

When I went to Kiyomizu temple it was illuminated.

I was standing for a while because it was very beautiful.

I have never seen sch a beautiful view in my life.

There are so many people in there.

There are couple, family , friends and so on.

I was impressed very much.

Everyone should go there.
