EP:73 What Does “Straight” Mean in Japanese?｜すとれーと

Did you know that Japanese 「ストレート」 doesn’t always mean English “straight”?

In this episode, we talk about how Japanese people use ストレート, and how it’s different from English.

You’ll also learn about:

• sutoreeto (neat / plain)
• burakku koohii (black coffee)
• sutoreeto tii (plain black tea)
• miruku tii (milk tea)
• remon tii (lemon tea)
• rokku (on the rocks)
• mizuwari (whiskey with water)
• tansanwari / haibooru (with soda)

I also share a funny story from when I lived in New Zealand and accidentally bought a bottle of sweet green tea!

These little cultural and language differences are everywhere, and they’re one of the most fun parts of learning Japanese.

If you’d like to practice real Japanese conversation with me, you’re always welcome on italki.
