EP81 | Take Off in Japanese — nugu, toru, hazusu - YAHHO! First Japanese with Kimi

In this episode, we continue from the previous episode about “wear” and “put on” in Japanese.

In English, we often use “take off,” but in Japanese, the verb changes depending on what you take off.

👕 fuku o nugu
👖 kutsu o nugu
🧢 boushi o toru
👓 megane o hazusu
😷 masuku o hazusu / toru
💍 nekkuresu o hazusu

Nihongo de wa, “take off” wa itsumo “nugu” janai!

Kono you na kotoba wa, rule wo kangaeru yori, phrase no pair de oboeru no ga osusume desu.

For example:

fuku o kiru → fuku o nugu
kutsu o haku → kutsu o nugu
boushi o kaburu → boushi o toru
megane o kakeru → megane o hazusu
