Japanese net term part-2

おk
It means OK.

うp 
It means up and upload.

How these words started is easy.
It's only that We input [OK] [UP] by Hiragana characters (Japanese two-byte characters) and don't convert.
Of course these words are used in only casual case in the net.

Sorry if you can't see Japanese characters in your computer and garbled characters!

KON-KATSU

There is a new word Kon-Katsu since a few years ago, and now became common word.
Kon-Katsu  is clipped word from 結婚活動 [Kekkon-Katsudou].
(Kekkon means marriage,Katsudou means activity.)

It means people do something for marriage.
because there is a tendency to marry late in Japan...
I don't do any Kon-Katsu  although I think that it's difficult to encounter men. haha.

Adventure


My sister and I went to NAKAZUBANSHOU-EN.
No special reason but we haven't been there before so went there.
 





It's old Japanese garden.
It was built in 1688 in Marygame-city.

It's not big and easily walking around.
There are many big and successful pain trees.


 I made this video...   I have vacant time. :-)

SUGOMORI

I often hear [巣ごもり (SUGOMORI)] in news show something.
Original meaning of the word is birds stay at their nest but now we use it as people stay indoors.
It means that it's bad economy so people don't want to use money.

The number of overseas travelers will decrease the year-end and New Year holidays.

Average annual salary and bonus have been decreasing so I agree people are SUGOMORI. haha.
But it's wonderful that family stay at home together and having nice time. :-)
