Summary
This month I look at three paragraphs from an essay by Kakuta Mitsuyo. These three paragraphs have an interesting combination of 常体 ( jōtai , direct style) and 敬体 ( keitai , distal style), which gives me another opportunity to talk about written and spoken Japanese. And I also address のだ ( no da )/のです ( no desu ), the little bit of language that comes at the end of clauses and sentences. Check out the blog and newsletter for links to some of the essays I wrote about, including the review of drinkable mayonnaise. Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to [email protected] .
