すばやく （素早く）

This adverby thingamabob is fairly easy (and cool) to guess if you can read the kanji. as you thought it means "quick" (with a nimble nuance) and i believe the context was すばやくキスした (from an english learning ad in the train)

きゅうしょく （給食）

Lotsa new words today. I was looking at a Learn English thing in the newspaper and studying backwards. This word means predictably "school lunch"! The context was: 今日は給食どうだった？ (How was lunch [at school?]") I feel like I already know this word, but the kanji confused me a little, so here it is for me to study.

ぼっしゅう （没収）

I heard students talking about when they were at the airport and got something "confinscated" because it was illegal to bring into Japan. Like counterfeit bags or something.

たんしゅく （短縮）

At my company there is a song for the kids to learn, but there is a note that it is the 短縮バージョン or the "abridged" version, shorter than the original song.

むかしふう （昔風）

This one makes sense and I doubt I'd forget it. But it seems useful and so I am updating this blog with it: "old fashioned" which might be good to use sometimes when talking about styles and what not.

へんてこ （変梃）

I had a strange dream and my friend used this na adjective to describe it. Means about the same as the root: "strange".
