Hello! It's great to be back!
Mondays are always an exciting time for us because it's on this day that the new week and a new English adventure begins ... usually. Actually, we're already mid-adventure, aren't we? Because this is Week 2 of our series celebrating the rainy season. So take out your umbrella and join us for more wet and wonderful WordMaster fun!
WET / DRY ぬれた/乾いた
- Something is wet if it is covered in water (or another liquid). A day, season, area, etc. is wet if it rains a lot.
Something is dry if it is not wet. A day, season, area, etc. is dry if it rains little or not at all. - wet は、何かが、水や他の液体がかかったり、しみ込んだ状態をさします。つまり、ぬれている、という意味です。日や季節、地域に関して wet を使うと、雨がよく降る日、季節、地域、という意味になります。
dry は、ぬれていない状態、つまり、乾いている、という意味です。日や季節、地域に関して dry を使うと、雨がほとんど降らない、または全く降らない、という意味になります。
- Be careful driving. It's been raining all day, and the roads are sure to be wet and slippery.
- a: Look at you! How did you get so wet?
b: I forgot my umbrella. - It looks like it's going to be another wet day. Why don't we rent a couple of movies and stay home?
- You can't wear that shirt. It's not even dry yet.
- The dry climate in some northern African countries makes it difficult to grow enough food to feed everyone.
Stay dry now!
