Here's a WONDER-ful expression to learn on a Thursday!
NO WONDER 驚くに値しない、不思議ではない
- If something is no wonder, it's not surprising.
- no wonder とは、驚くべきことではない、という意味です。
- (arriving at school an hour early on the morning
after daylight saving time ends)
a: Oh, my gosh! Now I know why there's no one here yet. We forgot to set our clocks back!
b: No wonder! - No wonder you feel so hot. You've got a fever.
- a: The sushi was 400 yen per piece.
b: No wonder you only had five pieces. - (on the phone with a friend from home, after moving abroad)
a: It's sunny and warm here 300 days of the year, and the people are super friendly.
b: It's no wonder you like it there.
Enjoy the day!
