Japanese Word of the Day #5: Imouto

The word 妹 pertains to a person's "younger sister," as they use different words to address their family members. It has two characters, 女(おんな / onna), pertaining to the female gender and 未(み / mi), which can also mean "not yet" (also, the same kanji used in 未だ/まだ). "Woman not yet" is what perfectly describes a young female member of the family, thus, the word.

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I was thinking of a way for me to easily remember Japanese vocabulary from Lessons 1-20 in Elementary 1-2. So here we are! I will try to update this daily as much as possible, so I can be able to make it a habit to take a look at one of the words on a daily basis, understand it and its writing, so I can memorize or remember it well.

It’s been a while since my last update. ^^;

Recently I’ve been engaged in new projects, as a writer for an indie game and as a composer for a friend’s project. I’ve been playing around with Garageband in iPad, so I’ve got my head around in composing music. 😀
