Hi there.
As you may know, but it's been seriously snowy in Japan!
(もしかしたら知っているかもしれないけど、日本は今すごい雪だよ)
(moshikashitara sitterukamosirenaikedo, nihonnha imasugoi yukidayo)
It is really rarely when it comes to reaching this amount.
(こんなにたくさん降るのは本当にめったにないことなんだよね)
(konnnanitakusannfurunoha honntounimettaninaikotonanndayone)
It seems that almost all of the traffic system in northern or eastern areas in Japan has been paralyzed due to the snow.
(雪のせいで、日本の北側と東側の地域は交通網がほとんど麻痺しているみたい)
(yukinoseide, nihonnokitagawato higashigawano chiikiha koutsuumouga hotonndo mahishiteirumitai)
So, the residents in an apartment where I have lived have made a big ice-made house, which is called Kamakura in Japanese!
(で、ぼくのアパートの住民が大きな氷の家、かまくらを作ったよ)
(de, bokunoapa-tonojyuminnga ookinakoorinoie, kamakurawo tsukuttayo)
How do you like it?
(どうかな？)
(doukana?)
It's been freezing cold outside, but snow makes us a kind of excited, doesn't it?
(外はすごく寒いけど、雪ってなんか楽しくない？）
(sotohasugokusamukedo, yukittenannkatanosikunai?)
Components and Etymology:
雪 consists of two parts, 雨 and ヨ.
(ゆきは2つの部分から成り立っていて、雨とヨにわかれるのね）
(yukiha futatsuno bubunnkaranaritatteite, 雨toヨni wakarerunone)
it is said that 雨 means something falling from the sky, and ヨ expresses appearance wiping with a broom in hand.
(雨は空から降ってくる何かを表していて、ヨは手にほうきを持ってはいている様子を表しているみたい)
(雨ha sorakarafuttekuru nanikawo arawashiteite, ヨha tenihoukiwomottehaiteiruyousuwo arawashiteiru to iwareteirumitai)
Do you have snow in your country?
みんなの国は雪降るのかな？
(minnnanokuniha yukifurunokana?)
