Listen "Episode 60 - 状態・状況"
Episode Synopsis
This month I introduce another "Impossible Pair," which I first wrote about back in September 2024. The pair I introduce: the words 状態 (jōtai) and 状況 (jōkyō). One way to differentiate these is size, but the other is a time element. I think I've hit on an interesting way to think about these. Check out the newsletter for more, and the blog for how 状態 gets used with Pokemon. Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to [email protected]. You can also follow How to Japanese on Substack, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
