lydamorehouseIn further adventures in language learning, Memrise just taught me this amazing phrase that I wish you could hear a native speaker say: "エコじゃないんじゃないかなぁ" It sounds something like "ECHO ja nai n ja nai ka na-a." I know this is hard to parse, but it's a very fun, repetitive sound. It almost sounds like someone pretending they speak Japanese, you know?
Unfortunately, I can not imagine that in my once in a lifetime trip to Japan I will ever have a reason to say this as it translates to "I don't think that's eco-friendly." But, if I ever did have a reason to say it, as a bonus, you can say it really snottily.
Also, speaking of my fantasy trip to Japan, now added to my list of things to do is the official shuttle tour of the art toilets of Tokyo (Shibuya, specifically.) The official tour is here: https://campaign.nearme.jp/thetokyotoilet/en
This is a shockingly BORING video produced by the folks who envisioned the new art toilets, but it does showcase a couple of them decently:
Perhaps, I can find a way to discuss whether or not these designs are "eco-friendly."
