Let’s learn a Japanese phrase from anime/manga every day! (・∀・)ｲｲﾈ!!
I pick up a Japanese phrase from anime/manga (almost) every day to learn Japanese with you all!
I hope this (almost) every-day update post will help you get motivated to learn Japanese.
Today´s phrase is:
Jpn : 金は命より重い！そこの認識をごまかす輩は生涯地を這う！
Phonetic: Kane wa inochi yori omoi! Sokono ninshiki wo gomakasu yakara wa syougai chi wo hau!
Eng: Money is more important than life! Those who cheat the recognition will crawl the land for the rest of their lives!
(I have learned everything important in my life from animation/manga)
This is a very useful phrase to use when you want to lose your friends. LOL! Be careful! But it is important to understand the importance of money since we live in a capitalistic society. Whether you like it or not, we have to have some degree of knowledge in terms of money. Also, it is important to understand there are some shady people like him in the world.
