182. Exploring 'Ranuki' Words | ら抜き言葉

In this episode, I delve deep into the intriguing phenomenon of ら抜き言葉("Ranuki” words) in the Japanese language. I explore how the potential form of Japanese verbs has evolved over time and its prevalence in modern-day conversations. Through my personal experiences, I shed light on the impact of this phenomenon on both Japanese learners and native speakers. Drawing insights from the Agency for Cultural Affairs' report, I discuss the variations in usage based on age and context, and how one should be conscious of it. Language evolves with time, and through this episode, let's rediscover the depth and beauty of the Japanese language together! ⁠📝⁠⁠⁠Blog Post(Transcript)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠:　https://sayurisaying.com/ranuki-words-japanese-potential-verbs/ If you'd like to support this podcast, please consider donating here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/sayurisaying⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙏
