Greetings and a warm welcome to you! Take off your coat and make yourself comfortable. (Oops! Maybe we should have saved that last sentence for today's examples!) |
A coat is a piece of clothing with sleeves that you wear over other clothes, especially to keep warm when outside.
A raincoat is a coat you wear to keep dry when it's raining.
An overcoat is a LONG, warm coat usually worn in winter.
(Be careful: In English we do NOT use the word "over" like the Japanese オーバー to mean overcoat.)
coat は外出の際、特に防寒のために通常の服の上に着る袖つきの衣類です。
raincoat は雨のとき、服がぬれないようにするために着るコートです。
overcoat は普通冬に着る、丈が長くて暖かいコートをさします。
注意:日本語では overcoat のことを「オーバー」と呼びますが、単に overと言っただけでは overcoat の意味にはなりません。 1. | Put on your coat if you're going outside. | | | 2. | Be sure to take a warm coat with you to Sapporo. It's still pretty cold this time of year. | | | 3. | It's polite to take off your coat when you sit down to eat. | | | 4. | If my husband was rich, I'd ask him for a fur coat. | | | 5. | Where I come from, people wear raincoats instead of using umbrellas. | | | 6. | I need a nice overcoat to wear to the office in winter. All the coats I have now are too short to wear over a business suit. |
| If winter is still hanging around your part of the country, don't forget to dress warm and stay dry!
