DOUSYOU - learn Japanese with me

New Phrase: ごび (語尾)
Meaning and Thoughts: English doesn't really have these, so it's hard to find a good translation, but its basically the little word ending things in Japanese (If you can read the entry above but don't know what I mean, than this blog is maybe not for you?! If you need me to spell it out, something like よ or わ at the end of a sentence.)

New Phrase: こういんやのごとし (光陰矢のごとし)
Meaning and Thoughts: I find myself saying this all the time in English, so I thought I should know how to say "time flies" in Japanese. There it is.
New Phrase: どんこう (鈍行)
Meaning and Thoughts: I looked this word up for my latest diary entry. It means like local train or more litterly something like normal train, the slow one.
