writing style
i agree the textbook :) it was so interersting to see different writing styles. there was japanese writing style. i thought it shows exactly japanese personalities. when we speak, we always use manipulative way and we dont say what i want or what i want you to know straightly, so we have to guess what you want to say every time. it sounds like really weird and difficult way to know what you want to talk, but its our culture and custom, so we speak by the style since we were born. we can know what you want to say without the word. the textbook says japanese writing style doesnt write a topic and it gives only hints about the topic. its so japanese! american says YES or NO clearly when they talk about something. i thought its also showen american writing style

Hi Chiyoko^o^~
ReplyDeleteWhen i saw the diagram abou Japanese Organization i thought it was strange and it was difficult for me to understand why Japanese writers always give hints instead of saying topics.However,i know different languages have different ways to explain.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Chiyoko. My parents always told me that a direct way was impolite. That's right in Asian contries, but Americans might tell us like this. "Don't beat around the bush."
