| ใใใ: ใฏใใ |
| Peter: Letโs get on with this lesson. So far, weโve been introducing onomatopoeia related to various emotions. From this lesson, starting in this lesson, you will learn some onomatopoeia that explain how an action is done. Sakura san, what action are we going to cover in this lesson? |
| ใใใ: ็ ใor ๅฏใto sleep. |
| Peter: And the onomatopoeia associated with this verb are |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใใใใจใใจใใใผใใผand ใใใใ |
| Peter: They are a little difficult to translate without context. So Sakura san, can we hear them in context? |
| ใใใ: ๅคในใฏใใฃใใ็ ใใพใใใ |
| Peter: Did you sleep well last night? The first onomatopoeia we are looking at is |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใ |
| Peter: ใใฃใใindicates sleeping soundly. Itโs usually followed by the verb to sleep ็ ใor ๅฏใ |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใ็ ใor ใใฃใใๅฏใ |
| Peter: To sleep like a log, to sleep soundly, to sleep tight, to sleep fast. |
| ใใใ: So when you are really tired ใใฃใใ็ ใ you donโt wake up easily ใญ |
| Peter: Okay on to the next onomatopoeia. Sakura san, whatโs the second one? |
| ใใใ: ใใจใใจ |
| Peter: In context please |
| ใใใ: ็ฅ็ถใฏใใฌใใ่ฆใชใใใใจใใจใใฆใใ |
| Peter: Grandpa is nodding off while watching TV. ใใจใใจ refers to the inability to resist drowsiness such as like kind of dozing off or nodding off. Now it refers to sleep that takes place outside of oneโs regular sleeping hours. |
| ใใใ: Itโs used together with the verb ใใto do like ใใจใใจใใ |
| Peter: To doze off, to fall into a light sleep, drowsy or nod off. Now before we introduce the next onomatopoeia, Sakura san, can we use ใใจใใจใใwhen you have like a lunch coma? |
| ใใใ: ใชใซlunch comaใฃใฆ |
| Peter: Kind of like when you eat a big lunch and you come back. |
| ใใใ: Yes. |
| Peter: And you are trying to concentrate but your head is falling down. |
| ใใใ: ใใใงใBut ใใจใใจis actually you are sleeping. You are not trying hard to you know resist the sleepiness but you give in ใฃใฆใใใใช. ใ ใใใใใใใๆผใ้ฃฏใ้ฃในใฆYou ate big lunch ใกใใฃใจใ ใใใจใใจใใกใใฃใ |
| Peter: A little knap, doze off after lunch. |
| ใใใ: ใใใใใใใ |
| Peter: After a big lunch. ใใจใใจใใ is to doze off, to fall into a light sleep, drowsy, to nod off. Now before we introduce the next onomatopoeia, Sakura san, please listen to this sound and say it in Japanese. |
| ใใใ: ใฏใใ |
| Peter: snoring sound |
| ใใใ: ใฐใผใฐใผใใฐใผใฐใผๅฏใฆใใพใใญHow do you say this sound in English |
| Peter: Snore. Can we have a sample sentence? |
| ใใใ: ็ถใฏใใณใใใใใฆใฐใผใฐใผ็ ใฃใฆใใ |
| Peter: Dad is fast asleep and snoring. ใฐใผใฐใผ originally describes an actual snoring sound. It also describes the state of sleeping well often associated with snoring. |
| ใใใ: ใฐใผใฐใผๅฏใ or ใฐใผใฐใผ็ ใ |
| Peter: Fast asleep and snoring. Finally we have |
| ใใใ: ใใใใใ่ตคใกใใใฏใใใใ็ ใฃใฆใใ |
| Peter: The baby is sleeping peacefully. ใใใใdescribes the state of someone sleeping comfortably and quietly accompanied by the sound of light breathing. |
| ใใใ: ใใใใๅฏใ or ใใใใ็ ใ |
| Peter: So all the onomatopoeia we covered ใใฃใใใใใจใใจใใฐใผใฐใผand ใใใใcan be used with the verb to sleep ็ ใ or ๅฏใright? |
| ใใใ: But I think itโs more natural to say ใใจใใจใใthan ใใจใใจ็ ใ or ใใจใใจๅฏใ. I think itโs because ใใจใใจ is half awake and half asleep. |
| Peter: Sakura san, speaking of ใใจใใจI know the similar expression ใใฃใใใใฃใใ |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใใใฃใใใญ |
| Peter: Itโs a little pause in there? |
| ใใใ: Yes ใใฃใใใใฃใใ |
| Peter: So there is a small ใคafter ใand this is to doze off or to nod off. ใใฃใใ describes the action of someone nodding. |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใis not a slow nod, itโs kind of fast and maybe sudden nod. |
| Peter: So is that the nod we are talking about when your head kind of goes down and you pull back. |
| ใใใ: ใใใใใใใใใใผใใฃใฆใญ |
| Peter: And the motion Sakura san was making when she said ใใใผใwas, her head was in a upright position and then it kind of went forward. |
| ใใใ: So itโs hard to describing sound right? |
| Peter: Okay. Now this is a repetitive onomatopoeia. So it means that ใใฃใใnod continues. So ใใฃใใใใฃใใdescribes the state of someone sitting on the chair and nodding off. This is a lunch coma. |
| ใใใ: ใใใงใใใญ |
| Peter: And maybe ใใจใใจis kind of have this image of grandpa on the couch after thanksgiving. |
| ใใใ: ใใใงใใญใ |
| Peter: Watching TV but kind of just asleep with the remote in his hand. Okay can we have a sample sentence with ใใฃใใ |
| ใใใ: ๅฝไผใงใฏ่ญฐๅกใใใฃใใใใฃใใใใฆใใ |
| Peter: The members of the diet are nodding off during the diet meeting. Itโs funny and I kind of remember my ใผใ, the Japanese university system is kind of modeled after the German one where there is something called seminar. So you have a teacher who is kind of your mentor and you get together with other students once a week with the same mentor. So there will be like six people and you take turns giving a presentation and there is always someone nodding off. |
| ใใใ: ใใฃใใใใฃใใใใฆใใ |
| Peter: Usually the professor. |
| ใใใ: ใพใใผ During presentation. |
| Peter: Okay letโs recap the usage of words we looked at in this lesson and we are going to do this with sample sentences. ใฏใ Sakura san ใ้กใใใพใใ |

| Peter: There was an earthquake last night, I didnโt notice it because I was sleeping like a log. Thatโs a really good sample sentence because a lot of times people sleep right through the earthquakes. |
