Today, since it is the day of Chinese New Year, we learned that shinen omedatoo means happy new year. We use gozaimasu after omedatoo to be more polite. We can also say akemashite omedatoo, ake meaning open or start. We can also say shinen akemashite omedatoo.We also learned that oomisoka and is the first day of the month. The new year is celebrated on January 1 to January 3 and this time period is called san ga nichi. Also, like the Chinese tradition, adults give children otoshi dama, a white envelope filled with money for the New Year. These envelopes are for luck and congratulations in general, however. The envelopes should be new except when giving them to someone who got sick recently. Doing otherwise would make you look bad. We also reviewed the use of "no." This term signifies possession. After that, we learned that shinbun means newspaper. We also covered the existence of various counters as opposed to saying simple numbers.
