So this one for today
Okay, this is from Kazuyo-san
Okay
こんにちは、カズヨです
こんにちは
先日初めて会った年下の女性をさんづけで呼ぶかちゃんづけで呼ぶかというお話を聞いていて
2人とも深く考えすぎ、笑いってなりました
Okay
そこで私が思う解決策をお伝えします
Okay
手っ取り早いのは何て呼んだらいいと聞くことです
人って呼ばれたくない呼び方があったりするので
ご本人の申告通り呼んであげるのが一番問題ないです
ちなみに私はカズヨですが
赤ちゃんの頃カズちゃんと呼ばれるのを母が嫌って
周りにカズちゃんと呼ばれてもひたすらカッちゃんと呼び続けて定着させたようです
私自身はカッちゃんもカズちゃんも好きではなく
カズヨちゃんは長すぎると感じていて
別のニックネームで呼んでもらうのが嬉しいです
もう一つの方法としてもし呼び名を聞きづらいのであれば
名前の頭二文字にちゃん付けというのも有効です
Okay
お話に出てきたハルカという名前なら
ハルカちゃんよりハルちゃんの方が呼びやすさを感じませんか
Okay
マナミちゃんよりマナちゃん
トモエちゃんよりトモちゃんと呼ぶのは
名前よりニックネーム感が出るので
柔らかさ呼びやすさにつながります
Okay
残念なのはお二人もおっしゃっていましたが
年上なら3を付ければいいというやっつけ感です
私はお二人より年上なので
カズヨさんなら無難は何となく寂しさを感じますし
距離があるなと思います
03:00
年下の子にちゃん付けで呼ばれたらキュンとしちゃいます
Okay
That it?
That's it
Alright, thank you so much for the message
but I completely disagree on that one
I cannot
I completely disagree
Completely, yeah
I mean, yeah, it's just
Okay, let's say that you ask
Oh, hey, 何て呼べばいい?
More than like 90% of the time
they're gonna say 何でもいいですよ
何でもいいですよ
Oh my
Yeah, it's rare
Right?
Yeah, or you just say your name
じゃあハルカって呼んでください
Exactly
That's something I can easily imagine
Really didn't fix the problem, did it, right?
You're still stuck between
That's right
Yeah, really did not fix that problem
True, true, true
And if you have
Okay, so ハル
ハルちゃん
ハルちゃん, right?
初対面
and their name is ハルカ
ハルカさん
Let's say that
Okay, what can I call you?
Oh, じゃあハルカで
Oh, ハルちゃん
What the fuck is that?
What the fuck?
It's very unnatural to me
Very unnatural
It's very unnatural to you
It's very very unnatural
Yeah
True
That's something you like
at the end of the day
Maybe
But not instantly after that
Yeah
It's just
I think we just have a different approach
to like human relationship
is what I'm feeling, you know
Yeah, yeah, true
We just have a
like a ground difference
like there's a difference to begin with
like the community is completely different
because I know there's communities
that are like
Yeah
are very natural
to call the other person with ちゃん
like all the time
Young or old
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Right?
So
It's, you know
not
It just doesn't feel like that
that strategy isn't gonna work
I agree with that
with my friends
Yeah
We're in the さん
さん community
That's right
We're in the さん community
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's not ぶなん
or something like that
It's neutral
Uh-huh
It's the respect
さん is the best choice
That's right
That's our community
I don't
It's not さみしい at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Because it's like
having that respect
is a great way of like showing
Yeah
that you're like
Hey, man, I respect you
Right
Let's like
You can still have a very positive vibe
Right, right, right, right
with the さん
Right
Right?
So
Man, it's difficult
I get it, I get it
It's difficult, yeah
It's true
It's very true
Yeah
You know what
was difficult for me as well
We were doing the badminton, right?
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah
The boys, right?
Okay
Younger
Uh-huh
Yeah, those two were younger than us
Younger, right?
Yes, yes
But you know them
Yeah
Professionally
Yeah
Like
They were my friends, so
06:00
They were your friends
Yeah, yeah
Through your like
They were band members of
what you do professionally, right?
Yes, yes, yes
So it wasn't like
to me, it feels very disrespectful
to be like, hey, man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's not cool for me
Yeah, because you just met them
for the first time
I just met them
for the first time, right?
Yeah, totally
I'm joining you guys
in your thing, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I really wanna be respectful
to like
Right, right, right
That was kind of like
how deep should I go into
It was like
another
It's a similar thing
Yeah, yeah
It's not so
It's not that
The bike thing
is fucking crazy out here
Come on
The bike thing
is like
I literally sometimes wanna get
like an egg
and I wanna like
throw the egg
at the bikers
at night
because like
at like 1 a.m.
they do that
Yeah, they do that
At 1 a.m.
they fucking like
Jesus Christ
Thank you
