Kotoba of the day: 27
趣味(n) - しゅみ - shumi - hobby
Category: Simple nouns
Sample sentence:
| Kanji | 貴方のご趣味は何ですか。 |
| Kana | あなたの ごしゅみは なん ですか。 |
| Romaji | anata no goshumi wa nan desuka. |
| Read as | a-na-ta no go-shu-mi wa na-n de-su-ka. |
| Malayalam | താങ്കളുടെ ഹോബി എന്ത് ആണ്?. |
| English | What is your hobby?. |
Note: As you may know ‘go’ before ‘shumi’ shows respect towards the listener.
"O （お）" or "go （ご）" is respectful prefix (polite marker), used to express respect or simple politeness.
Generally speaking, "o" is used with native Japanese words and "go" with words of Chinese origin.
Anyway, "O" or "go" can't be attached to all nouns.
