One reason theしaでanese
language is so difficult to
master is that it has many
levels of comprehension.
This has nothinぬ.to do with
the different forms used
in addressing an eqcaー, an in-
ferior or a superior, which
can lead to a seriously em-
tharassing conversation, as in
psssjnぬthe time of the day
or ask inぬdirections, differs
in form and vocabulary from
talking business orでol三cs.
Most Nikkei, and theぬreat
majority of Sansei, nev仿rぬot
CTeyond the most elromeコtarY
forms of SJaでanese. Thus they
are almost totally at a los仍
whenしaでanese conversation
turns serious. And this is
because not only is the voc-
B&ularY unfamiliar, tjct there
are fine nuances that are not
toででttrent in a direct trans-
lation.
