Greetings!
We've got a terrific set of expressions for you this week, all sharing two things in common: Each contains one or more words indicating direction, AND each is an extremely useful addition to anyone's vocabulary. Enjoy!
UPSIDE DOWN 上下さかさまに
- If something is upside down, it has been turned so that the part that should be at the top is at the bottom.
- upside down とは、何かが逆向きになって、いちばん上にあるべき部分が、いちばん下になっている状態を言います。
- a: Is there more ketchup? This bottle is empty.
b: Try turning the bottle upside down for a while. There's still a little on the bottom. - (an American looking at a Japanese menu)
a: I can't read a word of this menu.
b: That's because you're holding it upside down. - There were thousands of bats hanging upside down from the top of the cave.
And thanks for hanging out with us today!
