Right. That's read しごとじょう.Hey guys been awhile. I'd like to know what 仕事上 means and how its read （しごとじょうかな）.
to tend to accumulate things (without throwing them away)Edit: Sorry, I also would like the meaning of ためこみがち, seems like its saved up goods or possessions something like that?.
They are the same in meaning.I have a question about two sentences I read in my textbook:
運転前には、次の点をチェックしましょう。
発車する前には、車の前後に人がいないかどうか、車の下に子供がいないかどうか確かめましょう。
Is there some specific reason why "before driving" is written as 運転前 and not 運転する前 like in the second sentence?
知人 sounds formal. 顔見知り usually has a nuance of being less close than 知人/知り合い.I also have a question about the various ways of saying "acquaintance": 顔見知り、知人、知り合い
Are there any differences between these three?
顔なじみ, 知己and are there any other ways to say "acquaintance"?
知人 sounds formal. 顔見知り usually has a nuance of being less close than 知人/知り合い.
顔なじみ, 知己
Thanks for giving me the whole version, I'd appreciated a lot if you can't give me the whole translation, but that would brother you too much.....that's why I picked some sentences and phrases that I couldn't get it by myself.Do you need to translate only those sentences? I mean, do you really understand the rest part of their conversations? If so, I wonder why you can't get such a commonplace phrase like 切ないバラード.☺
Hmm, just my impressionThanks toritoribe! Is 顔なじみ roughly the same as 顔見知り？and 知己 the same as知人？
I remember my parents using the word ちき and I asked my mom what it meant.Actually, I, too, read it ちこ until looking it up in a dictionary.(probably from the reading of 自己)
ちこ seems to be acceptable, though.

(一)面識 is/are another that has some use. Probably from the not so close part of the line.Hmm, just my impression
not-so-close < cloce
顔見知り＜顔なじみ＜知人/知り合い/知己
知己 is a rather literal expression.
Yeah, that's why I wrote "rather literal expression".I remember my parents using the word ちき and I asked my mom what it meant.
I haven't heard people using it since then.
面識 doesn't express a person itself like 顔見知り/知人/知り合い. It's "acquaintance" as a relationship. 面識のある人 can work, though.(一)面識 is/are another that has some use. Probably from the not so close part of the line.
Oh, I see. Or more awkwardly お近づきになっている人 .Yeah, that's why I wrote "rather literal expression".I, too, have read it only in some books.

In the sense of "surprised that" used here they are interchangeable. の is just hanasukotoba.Hi, don't know if this is the right thread for this since its more of a grammatical thing but..
Can the の I highlighted be replaced by こと? Is の being used here because the connotation is that its more "personal" to the speaker? Is it more to do with the verb being 驚く? Any other info on this will be appreciated. Thanks.

If it is no ni as "despite" or "although" you cannot use こと.
短く切らなくなった - It was a situation that they didn't cut it short/it didn't become short.Hey all! Thanks for all the help about "chiki" "kaonajimi" and all the other words about acquaintances
I have a question. If someone recently got a haircut and they say 短く切らなくなった, what does that mean? How is this different from 短く切った?
よろしくお願いします！
I second that.短く切らなくなった - It was a situation that they didn't cut it short/it didn't become short.
Thanks for the help guys! I still kinda don't get it though...
So does 短く切らなくなった mean that the hair grew out after being cut short?
or that it just wasn't cut short enough in the first place?

So does 短く切らなくなった mean that the hair grew out after being cut short? or that it just wasn't cut short enough in the first place? i'm so confused -___-''
Also, I have another question:
それまでどうぞ一人でゆっくりしてらしてください
what does らして mean? is it the shortened form of something?
mother: そりゃ生まれがちがうからHello, I need help with these lines. It's a dialogue between a mother and a son about the high life and rich people.
son: オレもいっぺんそんな生活してみたいもんだな
mother: そりゃ生まれがちがうから
son: そりゃそう
Then they laugh.
I think he's saying he'd like to live that kind of life too but i'm not sure and I don't understand what the mother is saying.
Thank you for your help.
Isn't it 身勝手[みがって] or "selfish"?I have another question about 見勝手. How do you pronounce this? みかって？I know that 勝手 means "arbitrary," but how does the 見 change the meaning? I found it in this sentence: 見勝手な行動をとってすまない
