Sylke’s home cooking
I don’t know who created this graphic and can’t give credit but I find it very interesting as my beloved topics of cooking and linguistics intermingle here, so I had to post it. I always find it interesting how loan words start to change in meaning in their new language environments.

The underlying etymology can be found here:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/katsu

A map showing how the words côtelette/cutlet and curry came to Japan via the UK and became katsu karee there only to be then reintroduced to the UK and to be shortened to katsu meaning Japanese curry sauce.

How is emphasis represented in Japanese, as in emphasis of a word in a sentence?

In languages written with the Latin alphabet it’s mostly via italics (or bolding) - or in handwriting we might underline. I can’t recall seeing anything equivalent to underlining or bold script in Japanese books.

Italics I don’t think would even be possible.

I don’t get the impression emphasis is applied via word order.

Is it just via particles?

At first I found it confusing that the Japanese word "omoshiroi" (おもしろい) could mean funny OR interesting. I mean, how was I to know which was intended in a sentence?

Well context tends to help, but beyond a writer's intent, I rather like suggestion that interesting things are also enjoyable and learning is entertaining.

Is there a fuzziness between those two meanings in usage sometimes? I'm not immersed enough to know.

The Japan Times

The compact Japanese buzzword moshitora — which literally means “what if Trump” — has resurfaced in local media reports in recent months, as concern builds about what a possible return to the White House by the ex-president would entail. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/ #japan #politics #donaldtrump #us #usjapanrelations #2024uspresidentialelection #japaneselanguage #media #joebiden

Another book haul for me! This time I also picked up two books translated from Korean along with a Japanese mystery(?) novel. I think I've said this before, but it's always nice to have extra access via Japanese (and if I was motivated, French). There's obviously some overlap in what gets translated, but so much more is getting released in Japanese than English.

Three novels of the same size written in Japanese laying on a grey background in a row. On the left is この世界からは出ていくけれど by Kim Choyeop (translated by Kang Banghwa and Yoon Jiyoung). The book in the middle is 鏡の国 by Takuma Okazaki. The third book is 明るい夜 by Choi Eunyoung (translated by Ayako Furukawa).
