| Current Entry | 商店 [しょうてん] /(n) shop/business firm/(P)/ (1347180) |
| Headword 1 | 商店 |
| Reading 1 | しょうてん |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | shop |
| English 2 | business firm |
| Comment | I would guess that "business firm" would be comma-separated. Whatever, I don't like the English rendering. Better would be "a shop; a small store" 'cause it's hardly enterprise or zai-batsu level. Btw, I have fallen deeply in love with the Customize page - no need to "autofill" name and email, other small wonders, etc. Thanks. |

| Reading 1 | かつをいれる |
| Part-of-speech | exp |
| English 1 | (1) (See 活) to apply the art of resuscitation (in judo, etc.) |
| English 2 | (2) to breathe life into |
| English 3 | to stimulate |
| English 4 | to encourage someone |
| English 5 | to give someone a pep talk |
| Comment | I still think that the use of the kanji 喝 with either of the two senses given above is incorrect (well, I suppose iK is enough for that), but that it can be also be used correctly(?) for that kanji with a _different_ meaning.
Recently I came across a perfect example of that in a RPG: 「喝ぁぁぁぁつっっ！！」 「あだっ！」 「いててて・・・・誰だよ、いきなり後ろから人を殴りつけるなんて」 ・・・ 「うむ、今日も学校に不埒な輩が多くてな。そやつらの成敗に手間取ってしまったわ。まあ、妾が喝を入れたお陰でそやつらも改心して、これから弓道部で心身を鍛えることになったがな」 In other words I'm agreeing with the following native speaker. http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q137805058 [喝] 禅宗で励まし叱るときの叫び声。これより、大声を出すこと、大声で叱ること、大声で脅すことなどの意味がありますが、「喝を入れる」というでしょうか。 |

| Comment | Not sure if this word comes up in other areas, but I (and thousands of others each year) need it in order to get an "arbeito" as a ryugakusei. Can't find it, or anything close to it, in any dictionary.
Sorry I'm no J-E translating pro, and I hope you can make something of this word. |
