| Koohii Story 1 | If you ask your teenager if what he´s drinking is water (and not Vodka), he will answer "but of course". |
| Koohii Story 2 | キョウ But of course, this character really means "situation/condition". "Elder brother gulped some water and said, ´What the hell was Heisig´s mental CONDITION when he came up with this definition? Heisig must have a drinking CONDITION. But of course, if Heisig sticks to water, rather than sake (like me, water quaffing, situation assessing, sober elder brother), his SITUATION may improve.´" [MODEL COMPOUND: 状況 (じょうきょう) state of affairs; conditions]. |
