Happy Friday! It's time to roll up our sleeves and work on mastering another WordMaster. Are you ready?
LONG-SLEEVED / SHORT-SLEEVED / SLEEVELESS
長袖の / 半袖の / 袖無しの
- A piece of clothing with long sleeves is long-sleeved.
A piece of clothing with short sleeves is short-sleeved.
A piece of clothing with no sleeves is sleeveless.
Be Careful! “No-sleeve” (ノースリーブ) is Japanese-English. - long-sleeved は、長袖の、short-sleeved は半袖の、sleeveless は、袖無しの、という意味です。
注意:no-sleeve「ノースリーブ」は和製英語です。
- This pajama top used to be long-sleeved, but I cut the sleeves short to make it more comfortable.
- I'm going to need some more short-sleeved shirts for the summer.
- (one woman to another)
Mary looks great in a sleeveless blouse, doesn't she? I wish I had such beautiful arms. - The actress arrived at the movie premiere in a green satin, sleeveless dress.
Well done! See you again on Monday!
