Episode Synopsis

Adjectives in Japanese are not always what they appear to be! I think part of this is because they function as what I call "performative adjectives." One of my sixth-grade students helped me finally understand what かわいそう meant. And in Japanese I discuss 系 and how it helped me explain myself.
