\u300c\u6c17\u300d is a kind of energy embodied by your mind and spirit… or so they say. Personally, I really don’t believe in all that mumbo-jumbo but we still have to deal with it because it’s often used in everyday Japanese to describe your mind-set or feelings. In fact, the characters for your emotional feelings \u300c\u6c17\u6301\u3061\u300d means \u300c\u6c17\u300d that is held” and your physical feelings \u300c\u6c17\u5206\u300d also contains the same \u300c\u6c17\u300d character.<\/p>\n
I’m going to go over some of the most useful and basic ways to use your \u300c\u6c17\u300d and I don’t mean fireballs and kung-fu moves. Rather, I’ve compiled a list of common expressions that you can use to describe your \u300c\u6c17\u300d. Though making a list of expressions is not usually not my kind of thing, these are so useful and simple (and for some reason often neglected in the classroom) that I feel it’s worth the time to list and describe them. Also, these kinds of expressions are very hard to find in the dictionary unless you almost already know what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
Putting aside the image of your grandma firing off hadokens<\/i><\/a>, here is a list of \u300c\u6c17\u300d expressions with the most simple and basic verbs. I’ve tried to interpret some of the literal meanings as a aid in memorizing what all these kinds of \u300c\u6c17\u300d means.<\/p>\n \n\uff11\uff09\u3000\u6c17\u306b\u3057\u306a\u3044\u3067 – Don’t worry about it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n \n\uff11\uff09\u3000\u5f7c\u5973\u306e\u6b73\u304c\u6c17\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3002 – I wonder what her age is.

However, if you’re in the mood, you can scroll through a huge list by going to WWWJDIC<\/a>, search for \u300c\u6c17\u300d and set the checkmark for “Starting Kanji”. You’ll get all sorts of useful expressions like \u300c\u6c17\u304c\u5f37\u3044\u300d\u3001\u300c\u6c17\u304c\u5411\u304f\u300d\u3001\u300c\u6c17\u304c\u6563\u308b\u300d\u3001etc., etc. Someday, you can become a master of at least talking<\/i> about your \u300c\u6c17\u300d without even having to work out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u300c\u6c17\u300d is a kind of energy embodied by your mind and spirit… or so they say.
