Hokudai/Cast 125: Fashionable Fear & Silver Week

hokudaicast@gmail.com (Hokudai/Cast) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:46:00 +0000

On your left we have a picture of pie ala mode. Pie with ice cream. This particular pie seems to be apple pie. There's a phrase "As American as apple pie." But there is no phrase "As American as apple pie ala mode." Although there should be as pie ala mode is very popular, especially in the summer, in the US.

In Japan there is a series of holidays in April/May that sometimes line up quite nicely to form a solid week of holidays. Starting with April 29 - Showa Day because it was Emperor Hirohito's birthday - and ending May 5th - Children's Day (which used to be called Boy's Day. There was no Girl's Day). This week is called 'Golden Week.' Well, there is also, in September, another series of holidays that can line up to form another solid week of holidays called Silver Week. The holidays are Sept. 21, 22, 23 and when they line up with Saturdays and Sundays (and in this economy, Fridays) it is possible for those in Japan to have six days holiday. This just happened this year and everyone was extremely happy - except employers.

Here is a simple video about Augustus Caesar, the namesake of the month of August, one of the stronger emperors of the Roman empire, nephew of Julius Caesar (the namesake of July), and enemy of Cleopatra. In the video it appears that Augustus speaks English with a British accent. Very peculiar. Please watch.

Caesar. There are many words related to Caesar. There are the Roman leaders Julius and Augustus, who gave use the months of July and August. There is caesarian section which is a surgical method of giving birth - It is said Julius Caesar was born by caesarian section. There is also a Caesar salad but this is not named after either Julius or Augustus.

Related to Caesar are two other words we use with leaders: Kaiser and Tsar. Kaiser is used for the leader of Germany before World War 2. Kaiser means 'emperor' but the word comes from 'caesar.' Tsar is the word we use for the leader of the Russian Empire before that empire collapsed in 1917. Tsar is sometimes spelled Czar. Today we often see tsar or czar used for a government worker who is in charge of something. For example, we often see someone called the Energy Tsar or the Drug Tsar. This means they are in charge of government policies for energy or drugs.

If you search for 'Caesar' spelled 'Caesar' on the internet, you will get almost 19,000,000 sites. If you search for 'Ceasar' spelled 'Ceasar' you will get almost 2,000,000 sites. Why? Because the correct spelling is 'Caesar'. (AE nor EA).

What is SNS?
What does SNS stand for?
Who uses SNS?

SNS stands for Social Networking Site. Social Networking Sites are things like blogs, MySpace, MyFace, and other sites where you can communicate with strangers over the internet. Flickr (a photo sharing site) is a popular SNS for people who like photographs, for example.

Many people use SNS. If you post to an online forum, you are probably using an SNS. In fact, many large companies such as IBM, Dell, Microsoft, and Coca Cola use SNS to advertise their products, talk to consumers, answer questions, and ask people questions. Large companies are starting to communicate with people using SNS.

If you use SNS and can upload audio or video, can type in two or three languages, and enjoy talking with people, perhaps you should look into getting a job at a company as the SNS person. It might be fun and you'll definitely learn alot while getting paid. Just a thought.

What is Alternative rock? Back in the 1970s it was rock music and musicians who couldn't get a contract with a record company. But back in the 70s it was called punk. Punk musicians played what they wanted and didn't expect to make any money. Ironically, punk music created the foundation for the inventiveness of Nirvana, a huge success. Nirvana began as a garage band, then became a grunge band and finally, a success.

And now, besides alt rock we also have alt rock music videos. Here's one by The Plastic Surgeons of Rock and Roll.

I've said it before and I will probably say it again, but if you learn about roots, prefixes, and suffixes - about what they are, what they mean and how they are used to make English words - you will probably be able to improve your vocabulary - and spelling - quickly and easily.

In Hokudai/Cast 112 we have great possbilities. We use the prefix im - it means 'not' - to learn three words. Start with plausible, probable, possible. Add the prefix im and we get impossible, improbable and implausible.

With just two letters - i and m - we learn the antonyms of plausible, probable, and possible. And now, we can learn synonyms of these three words, too. They are all synonyms (although they carry a slightly varying degree of meaning).

By the way, antonym is made up of a prefix (ant) and a root (onym). Ant means opposite and onym means name. Similarly synonym is made up of a prefix (syn) and the same root (onym). Syn means same. So, what does synonym mean? That's right: the same name or the same meaning. See, roots, prefixes, and suffixes are fun!

Perhaps you have heard of prefixes, roots, and suffixes before. Here is a quick refresher. Many words in English have two or three parts: a root (the base) and a prefix or a suffix (or both). The prefix comes in front of the root. (Pre means 'before') and the suffix comes after the root.

Here is an example:

dict - this is a root; it means 'say' and we find it in words like dictation, dictator and diction.
pre - this is a prefix and it means 'before.' We can see it in preview and previous.

If we put these two parts together we get predict. 'Predict' means 'say before something happens.' In a sentence: "A fortune teller claims he can predict when I will fall in love."

We can add a suffix to predict to make a new word.

able - this is a suffix and it means 'can' or 'able to.'

If we add it to predict, we get the word Predictable which means 'able to say before something happens.' In a sentence: "She told him she wanted a divorce. His reaction was predictable."

Finally, we can add another prefix to make a completely opposite word.

un - this is a prefix and it means 'not.' We can see it in words like unlikeable, unsure, and, from Alice in Wonderland: unbirthday.

We can add 'un' to 'predictable' and we get Unpredictable. 'Unpredictable' means 'can not say before something happens.' In a sentence: "You should stay away from crazy dogs because their actions are unpredictable."

Knowing the parts of words helps you build your vocabulary easily. If you know what the parts mean, you can make a good guess as to what a new word means. Knowing the parts of words also helps you learn to spell new words easily.

Many prefixes, roots, and suffixes in English come from Greek or Latin.

Check out some of these sites for lists of prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

Good luck.

Hokudai/Cast 110: Jack and A Trip

The name 'Jack' is often used as a generic name for men. If you don't know someone's name, you can safely say, "Hey, Jack, come over here." And the person won't be offended. Why Jack has become a generic name, no one is sure but it has been used for at least 400 years.

A 'jack of all trades' means a person (not necessarily a man) who can do many things. He has learned many trades: carpentry, plumbing, painting. He might be able to do many things but he might not be the best at any of them. The complete phrase is 'Jack of all trades, master of none.' That means he can do many things, but is not the expert in any trade.

A Renaissance man or woman is someone who can do many things well. Leonardo DaVinci was a Renaissance man, for example. The Renaissance was a period of time when the arts and sciences flourished and many people were both artists and scientists. A Renaissance man, then, is opposite a Jack of all trades - he or she can do many things very well.

And now, for no particular reason, a short trip by car through a small part of Kanazawa.

Tae Kwon Do is originally from Korea and the parts mean 'strike or break with the foot' (Tae) and 'strike or break with the hand or fist' (Kwon) and 'method' (Do). Every year Hokuriku University invites a Tae Kwon Do group from Korea to demonstrate their sport and it is quite amazing. They jump pretty high and split wood being held by another person who is standing on the shoulders of another person. (There are both men and women in the group.)

About Machiavelli from The Discovery Channel (not-so-easy English)

Salman Rushdie (author of Satanic Verses, Midnight's Children, and The Enchantress of Florence) on Machiavelli. Mr. Rushdie uses words like 'devious,' 'cynical,' and 'power politics' to describe Machiavelli's message.

However, he describes Machiavelli the person as very democratic, a party animal, a sweet man, and a gentle person plus a successful playwright. He also says he was a philanderer.

Rushdie uses the phrase 'shooting the messenger.' This means that the person who tells you bad news is punished when all he or she had done is tell you the bad news.

In this video Rushdie describes the person more than the message of Machiavelli. Please listen and enjoy.

Rushdie mentions a man called Amerigo Vespucci, a cousin of Machiavelli's friend. Amerigo Vespuci was a map-maker who made maps for another Italian, Christopher Columbus (see Hokudai/Cast 103). America got its name from Amerigo.

Inquisitive. This is the word for the day on Hokudai/Cast 103. It means to ask questions or to want to know about a subject.

There is a era in European history known as The Spanish Inquisition. As you can see inquisition and inquisitive are very close in spelling. They are also very close in meaning. Inquisition is the noun for the verb inquire and adjective inquisitive.

The Spanish Inquisition was in Spain. The purpose was to find heretics - people who did not follow the rules and laws of the Catholic church in Spain. The Inquisitors (people who asked questions) could be very cruel and many people died. The Inquisitors asked many people about the rules and laws of the church in Spain and why the people didn't follow them. Being a heretic was a serious offense.

The Spanish Inquisition was started by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. They are more famous for giving an inquisitive explorer three ships and crew so that he could sail to China to find pepper and other spices. Christopher Columbus got lost, however, and ended up discovering America in 1492.

Is WiFi indispensable for your life or dispensable? First, I guess it depends on if you know what WiFi means or not. WiFi is the name of a wireless lan. That means you can use your cell phone to surf the internet. Without WiFi you wouldn't be able to surf it. (This is different from getting text messages from your friends.)

How often do you use your cell phone to look up things on the web? Everyday? Only when you are sitting at your computer? Well, as of this April Hokuriku University is going to have WiFi in all the classrooms. This means you bring your cell phone or computer and look up information on the internet. How will you use it? How will teachers use it? This is going to be a fun year, don't you think? Will WiFi become indispensable for education?

Vacation and holidays. Vacation means you can skip out of work or school and enjoy yourself. The weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are not vacation days but merely our weekends. Holidays in American English are special days, like the Fourth of July, or Thanksgiving. In British English, holidays means vacation (in American English). Originally, of course, holidays meant a religious day, one where people didn't have to work. Holy days. Like Christmas and Sundays.

Whatever you call it, university students in Japan are not in schools this month or next. It is their spring vacation. School starts in April but in the mean time, they are free to travel, work part-time jobs, or even study. Most, however, will probably hang out with their friends and dread the coming of April.

Over on the MiraiSozo Blog is a four-minute video of 44 US presidents. One of them, Abraham Lincoln, was born February 12, 1809. Another famous person was born the same day: Charles Darwin. February 12, 2009 was their 200th birthday.

Abraham Lincoln, of course, lead the US during the American Civil War (1860 - 1865) and was just voted the best US president by a group of American historians. He was assassinated in Ford's Theater in 1865. Last week President Obama gave a speech praising Lincoln in Ford's Theater. Lincoln's most famous speech is probably his Gettysburg Address. This speech begins with "Four score and seven years ago..." This is a very famous phrase now. (A 'score' is 20 years, so he is saying 87 years ago.) By the way, in the 1800s it was normal for speeches to last two hours or more. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address lasts about two minutes.

Charles Darwin wrote On The Origin of Species, a biology book that explained how natural selection works. Natural selection is the basis of the theory of evolution. Darwin sailed around the world from 1831 to 1836 and collected a wide variety of plants and animals. He also noticed that the same animal was subtly different in different places. From these differences he introduced his theory of natural selection. His ideas changed the way people thought about botany, zoology, and biology in general. He greatly influenced science and scientists. He died in 1882. (And yes, the city of Darwin, Australia is named after him.)

Click on 'Hokudai/Cast 98' to hear this post.

(Believe it or not, that was a sneeze.) Como se dice Japon en ingles? That's Spanish for 'How do you say Japan in English?' 'Como se dice' in Japanese is '何と言いますか?' Let's start backwards. 'か' means whatever you said before it is a question. For example,

Today is Saturday.
今日は土曜日です。

We can make into a question by adding か:

今日は土曜日ですか?

Now it means, 'Is today Saturday?'

'何と言いますか?' iimasu (言います) means ' to say' from the verb iu (言う). Nanto (何と) means 'what is.' 'to (と)' is an indicator that goes with the verb iu. Before iu (言う) we often say to (と). And 'nan' (何) means 'what?'

So, 'What do you say this word?' would actually be "How do you say this?" in Japanese.

This is useful for nouns but it's not so useful for verbs unless you like to spend a lot of time doing pantomime. However, it's very important if you are going to a country that speaks English to learn how to say "How do you say..."? and then point at something.

How do you say this? How do you say that?

This is one way you can increase your vocabulary in any language if you learn how to say "How do you say...?" or '何と言いますか?' or 'Como se dice?" The more you use it perhaps the larger your vocabulary will become.

Thank you and good luck.

Groundhog Day Update for 2/2/09

As you can see and hear in the video, six more weeks of winter will follow Punxsutawney Phil seeing his own shadow.

Groundhog Day is a fun day where people can, if they remember that it is Groundhog Day, have a party and enjoy themselves. Most people don't remember until they see news on TV that Phil either saw his shadow or didn't. What does it mean if he sees his shadow? Winter will last six more weeks. If he doesn't see his shadow, it means spring is just around the corner - It's coming soon!

The next time you see an American, ask if they know when Groundhog Day is. (And no, not the movie staring Bill Murray.) By they way, Phil is the name of the groundhog.

Hokudai/Cast 96: What Are the 12 Animals of the Chinese Zodiac?

hokudaicast@gmail.com (Hokudai/Cast) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:06:00 +0000

Chinese New Year'sis just around the corner this year so we thought we'd introduce the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. They are:

rat
ox (cow)
tiger
rabbit
dragon
snake

horse
ram (sheep)
monkey
rooster (chicken)
dog
pig

Three of them, the ox, ram, and rooster, sometimes have different names. One, the dragon, is the only mythical animal. I've been told it's because the dragon is very strong. Also, the rat is a strong symbol rather than, like in the west, a dirty animal. It's always enlightening to view the world through different eyes, isn't it?

In other events, the school year in Japan goes from April to March. Today is mid-January so school is winding down right about now. Final exams are looming up and students are getting nervous. On the other hand, after the final exams comes spring vacation. Spring vacation goes from early February to the first week of April. Two months! Very nice, eh?
