When splitting a large number, the United States and Japan use a comma to split it. The decimal point is marked with a dot like a period. But did you know that many countries in Europe use a full stop to split a large number, and then use a comma to describe the decimal point? I learned about this difference recently, which is really jaw-dropping.

In English there is a saying of foo & bar, which means anything goes, just occupy a position first, and you can replace it with something else later. Especially in programming languages, you need to occupy a position first, but you cannot replace it with a space, because later when you want to add a more meaningful word or variable, it is easy to find and replace it. What is used at this time is Placeholder. There is a similar saying in Japanese, which is HogeHoge, ほげほげ.

Although Japan, like China, also lifts the bowl to eat, it's not the case in Korea and the United States because lifting the bowl to eat is considered impolite.

In Japanese, there are words with two pronunciations. I'm not referring to the different readings (on'yomi and kun'yomi) of the same word, but rather entirely different words with similar meanings. One is a native Japanese word, and the other is a loanword from Chinese. For those unfamiliar with Chinese, learning either word is fine. However, for those who understand Chinese, it's easy to be constrained by the loanword from Chinese. This can make learning the corresponding native Japanese word a bit challenging because the Chinese loanword is often easier to remember. Once you've memorized it, learning another native Japanese word with the same meaning becomes difficult. In this video, I'll provide a few examples to encourage learners to consciously study the native Japanese word, use it more in daily conversations, and thereby enhance their Japanese proficiency.

Many people may have experienced building snowmen before. When I was a child living in Japan, I built a snowman once. Although it was a short time, the memory is deep. However, after moving to the United States, building snowmen seems like a luxury experience because the San Francisco area where I currently reside rarely sees snow. When it does snow, it's very brief, with several years passing between occurrences, and it melts before you can truly appreciate it. The central and eastern regions of the United States, on the other hand, experience a lot of snow, but we won't discuss that in this segment.

In this video, I just want to compare the differences between snowmen built in the United States and those in China, Japan, and Korea. Just think of Olaf from Frozen, and you'll get the idea.

The assimilation of English words into Japanese Katakana has left an indelible mark on the language, though not without intriguing transformations in pronunciation. As they found their place within the Japanese lexicon, some words underwent alterations due to the absence of equivalent sounds, necessitating creative adaptations. Other changes arose from the distinct interpretation of alphabet pronunciation, notably the "e" sound. This captivating episode of linguistic exchange accentuates the disparities between English words and their Japanese Katakana counterparts, shedding light on the dynamic nature of language evolution. Such cultural cross-pollination exemplifies how languages, like living organisms, adapt and grow, creating a diverse tapestry of communication and fostering mutual understanding between different cultures. Ultimately, the journey of these words reflects the ever-evolving nature of language and the enduring interplay between global influences and local contexts.

Layoff and Fire are two common forms of employee departure, and they have distinct differences in nature and reasons.

Firstly, Layoff is usually a result of economic factors within or outside the company, leading to a reduction in the workforce. In such cases, layoffs are often temporary and are implemented to cut costs or adapt to business changes. Layoffs are not an evaluation of individual employee performance but rather a decision made at the company's strategic level. During a layoff process, the company may provide advance notice to employees and offer certain compensation or benefits to mitigate the impact of unemployment.

On the other hand, Fire (Termination) is the result of an employee's poor performance, violation of company rules, or other behavioral issues. Termination is a punitive action directed at an individual employee and is typically permanent, with the company no longer considering rehiring the terminated employee. In termination cases, employees often receive little or no advance warning, and they usually do not receive the compensation or benefits provided during layoffs.

You may have already known that many Japanese words are borrowed from English, but do you know that some high frequently used Japanese words are from German. This episode will explain some of those words. One small side note: In the video, I mentioned "Arbeit" in German language, actually its meaning is "Work" or "Job"; comparing to "Part time job" meaning of Japanese, they are different. However, it still qualifies the facts that the Japanese word is borrowed from German, although the meaning is drifted from its origin.

In the world of mobile apps, there are unique and fascinating expressions for the same app names in Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. Likewise, the pronunciation of the emerging concept "ChatGPT" differs across these four languages. It's not just for following trends, but out of pure curiosity that I've put together this program to hear how each language approaches it.

When a term appears on the internet for some time, experts or enthusiasts often step in to give it a suitable name. However, if the term becomes popular too quickly, such opportunities may gradually diminish. In Japan and Korea, new terms are typically transliterated, but it may not be as straightforward for other languages, especially Chinese. Thus, some suggest using the English pronunciation temporarily until an expert can provide an ideal name. These cross-cultural pronunciation differences and naming considerations add charm and challenges to the process. They also highlight the subtle nuances between languages, prompting contemplation, and enabling emerging concepts to gain broader recognition and acceptance in diverse linguistic contexts. (update: based on feedback from Bilibili.com's audiences, the Chinese pronunciation is direct English, there is no Chinese localized pronunciation of ChatGPT yet.)
