Hello, and welcome back!
It's June, the sun sits high in the great blue sky, and summer is near. We thought this would be a fine time to introduce a few expressions for talking about all things refreshing and thirst quenching!
(NON-)CARBONATED 炭酸飲料
- Carbonated drinks contain CO2 gas, which produces little bubbles when the drink is opened.
If a drink is NOT carbonated, it's non-carbonated. - carbonated drink とは、炭酸ガスが入っていて、開栓すると微量の泡が出てくる飲み物のことです。
炭酸が入っていない飲み物のことは、non-carbonated といいます。
- a: What's your favorite carbonated beverage?
b: Probably cola ... or ginger ale. - (asking a storekeeper about a new soft drink)
Is this drink carbonated? - (at someone's home)
a: What would you like to drink?
b: Anything non-carbonated is fine. - (ordering at a restaurant)
I'd like a salad and a glass of non-carbonated mineral water, please.
Warm and sunny days and an ice-cold carbonated soft drink - ahhhh, life is good!
