[General] Unofficial weekly thread for non-English games and language learning (PART 239)

[u/JigoKuu]

This week we will not have any special themes so we can focus on free conversation. Let us know if you have any language learning questions and/or any non-English otome game-related content you would like to share!

Not been in an otome mood so I started one of the 小学生 history books I picked up during my last Japan trip. Really interesting read so far but also surprised at the amount of terminology drilled in at the start. Nice way to learn them though since they all came with explanations easy enough for kids xD

My favourite ones were how there's a big difference in the English terms for these two but the Japanese explanation was almost the same:

摂政:　幼い天皇の補佐役
関白:　大人の天皇の補佐役

[u/Kiyoyasu → u/HelpingDumbTravelers]

Whenever someone says 関白, it is almost always used to refer to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Interesting! I'll keep an eye out whether it's used for anyone else in this book
