Atama ga ii - bright, intelligent


Kotoba of the day: 71


頭がいい (phrase) - あたま いい - atama ga ii - bright, intelligent



Category: Personality, Feelings

                        

Sample sentence:


Kanji

頭がいい人。

Kana

あたま が いい ひと。

Romaji

atama ga ii hito.

Read as

a-ta-ma ga i-i hi-to.

Malayalam

ബുദ്ധിയുള്ള ആള്‍.

English

Bright person.



NB: Literal translation of the above sentence is “a person with good(?) head”.

But this phrase is commonly used to praise someone who is bright in his work, study etc.

Anyway it exactly matches with our Malayalam usage “നല്ല തലയുള്ള ആള‍”. :)
