Hi,

I've got some questions here concern the usage of the 2 words below:

sarigenaku - My boss was teasing my female colleague for wearing Burberry from head to toe. So, he said something like "sarigenaku ba-ba-ri fuku wo kakimasu".
What is he insinuating?

shari shari - Something to do with crushed ice mixed in sticky solution. My friend said she doesn't like to eat such food. What exactly is shari shari?

Thanks

Burberry is fashionable item in Japan. I think he said "you are a smart dresser".

shari shari - Something to do with crushed ice mixed in sticky solution. My friend said she doesn't like to eat such food. What exactly is shari shari?

"shari shari" is an onomatopoeic word. It is a feel of small drops in mouth as like crushed ice(or sand, tough rice or hard something).

"sarigenaku ba-ba-ri fuku wo kakimasu" Not sure what verb he used? The "sarigenaku" is referring to "without making a big deal about it", so probably he was being somewhat ironic since it was so obvious.

I guess he said "Sarigenaku ba-bari- no fuku wo kitemasu ne."
If so,it means you are wearing Burberry unboastfully.
