Year-end Party (108)

I had an year-end party with the English study group in my town last week.

Around 20 people including six English teachers attended.

We rented out an Italian restaurant for the party.

I sat next to a teacher who is from Australia so I can speak English a lot.

We talked about zodiac sign and personalities.

She said she can be feisty.

I've leant the word "feisty" before, but I wanted to make sure the meaning, and I asked "what anime character do you think of feisty?"

She doesn't watch anime, so she wasn't sure what character is feisty, but another teacher answered "maybe, Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia?"

I thought maybe I understand.

Ps...there's no direct translation of "feisty" into Japanese, so my Japanese version is one of one of translations.


先週私の町の英会話サークルの忘年会がありました。

6人の先生を含めてだいたい20人くらいが出席しました。

私達は、そのパーティーのためにイタリアンレストランを貸し切りました。

私は、英語がたくさん話せるようにオーストラリアから来た先生のとなりに座りました。

私達は、星座と性格について話しました。

彼女は、「私は、ちょっとけんかっ早い時もあるよ」と言いました。

私は、以前、feistyと言う言葉を学んだとこがありましたが、その意味を確かめたかったので、「どのアニメキャラクターが喧嘩っ早いと思いますか?」と聞きました。

彼女は、アニメを見ないのでよくわからないといいましたが、別の先生が「僕のヒーローアカデミアのばくごうかつき」と言いました。

私は、あーなるほど!と思いました。

Year-end Party (108)End of Year Party

I had an end-of-year-end party with the English study group in my town last week.

Really good grammar order here (I had X with the X in my town last week)!

Around 20 people, including six English teachers, attended.

"attended" is a really good word choice.

If I am being extra-picky, we might not use "attended" for something like a party. Instead, we might say "came along" or "turned up".

"Attend" is a more formal word.. we "track attendance" at school, or we use it for things like work meetings.

We rented ouserved a section at an Italian restaurant for the party.

Your sentence ("rented out") suggests you booked the entire restaurant (i.e. no other customers were allowed to come to the restaurant).

I sat next to a teacher who is from Australia so I canould speak English a lot.a lot of English.

We talked about zodiac signs and personalities.

She said she can be feisty.

I've lheantrd the word "feisty" before, but I wanted to make sure the meaning, andI fully understood what it meant, so I asked "what anime character do you think ofwould you describe as feisty?"

She doesn't watch anime, so she wasn't sure what character is feistyable to think of a character, but another teacher answered "maybe, Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia?"

I thought maybe I understandfelt that I understood... maybe.

→ I felt 80% sure that I understood.

→ I think I got it, but I'm not absolutely certain.

Ps...there's no direct translation of "feisty" into Japanese, so my Japanese version is one of one of translations.my best guess/attempt.

Feedback

面白い (interesting).

Even in English, I can't easily describe the word "feisty".

For me, the first person that comes to mind is Chi-Chi チチ from DragonBall. She's definitely feisty!

Here, ちち is feisty because she is strong-minded and shouting at Goku. She is willing to fight, which makes us describe someone as feisty. Hot-tempered.

Here, these grandmas are described as feisty because they have a strong characters. They are very flirtatious and have strong/independent personalities.

"Outspoken" is another characteristic of feisty people.

Thank you so much for your corrections! And thank you for the videos. one of the grandmas is 103 years old? I was surprised, and she said "Hell yes!" ? They look very healthy! Amazing!

(i.e. no other customers were allowed to come to the restaurant). ---> Yes! There was only our members and teachers in the restaurant. Other customers were not allowed to come to the restaurant.

Ah, okay. Then your original sentence was perfect! すみません.

To make it even clearer you could write something like this:

→ We rented out and had exclusive use of Italian restaurant for the party.

→ We rented out the whole of an Italian restaurant for the party.

[I was surprised, and she said "Hell yes!"]

Yes! The combination of these things is what made them feisty:

[a] their outspoken, kind of coarse/rough attitude ("hell yes!"),
[b] their energy/liveliness -- you cannot be feisty and be really slow/lethargic

Year-end Party

I sat next to a teacher who is from Australia so I can(that) I could speak English a lot.

"I sat next to a teacher who is from Australia" is correct, but "I sat next to a teacher from Australia" is less formal and the most natural way to describe where the teacher is from.

We talked about zodiac signs and personalities.

She said she can be feisty.

I've leantrned the word "feisty" before, but I wanted to make sure I understood the meaning, andso I asked, "wWhat anime character do you think ofis feisty?"

She doesn't watch anime, so she wasn't sure what character is feisty, but another teacher answered, "mMaybe, Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia?"

I thought maybe I understanood.

In English, both "think" and "understand" have to be in the past tense when you say "I thought...". An exception is when are quoting yourself (using quotation marks).

For example, this is correct:

I thought, "Ah, I understand!".

PsS... there's no direct translation of "feisty" into Japanese, so my Japanese version is one of one ofmany translations.

Feedback

A good definition of "feisty" I've found is "a person, especially one who is relatively small or weak, who is lively, determined, and courageous”. I haven't really watched My Hero Academia, but when I think of feisty anime characters, I think of Chi-Chi and Bulma from Dragon Ball. Chi-Chi and Bulma are just humans without any special powers, but they're not afraid to yell at people and pick fights with people.

Feisty is like tough and maybe hot-tempered, so Bakugo would fit. Just be careful as it can be condescending in some contexts, because it can imply that the person is small or weak looking (you could describe a chihuahua as feisty for sure).

No prob!

I had an year-end party with the English study group in my town last week.

"An" is for words that start with vowels in the phonetic sense, and year does not

Around 20 people, including six English teachers, attended.

This reads more naturally with pauses/commas around the subclause

We talked about zodiac signs and personalities.

I've leant the word "feisty" before, but I wanted to make sure I understood the meaning, andso I asked "what anime character do you think of as feisty?"

To make sure X, is to make it certain X happens. X has to be an action, so I inserted an action here

Using "so" instead of "and" is better here as the final clause is because of the middle clause.

She doesn't watch anime, so she wasn't sure whatich character is feisty, but another teacher answered "maybe, Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia?"

People will absolutely say "what character" here, but it's not considered correct so should be avoided in writing.
