One certainly would not want to confuse, for example, \u003cem\u003eki ga mawaru\u003c\/em\u003e (to be considerate) with \u003cem\u003eki o mawasu\u003c\/em\u003e (to be suspicious). And it would be useful to know whether your boss is \u003cem\u003ehara ga tatsu\u003c\/em\u003e (angry) or merely \u003cem\u003eki ga tatsu\u003c\/em\u003e (upset). Indeed, even a single idiom can have a bewildering number of meanings depending on context; \u003cem\u003ete o ireru\u003c\/em\u003e, for instance, can mean tidying up (as a room), sounding out someone, or making a raid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dictionary offers the most comprehensive compilation and English translation of those idiomatic expressions that so enrich the Japanese language but fail to find their way into conventional dictionaries. It presents more than 10000 idiomatic phrases under 1000 main entries, including several thousands of idioms never presented and explained in English before. Multiple sample sentences are given for each entry, and \u003cem\u003efurigana\u003c\/em\u003e allows even beginning students to pronounce correctly and to use the expressions immediately. A thumb index and two-color printing, with all \u003cem\u003ekanji\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ekana\u003c\/em\u003e in red, make entries exceptionally easy to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 394\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52585467969843,"sku":"9789492722102","price":64.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SWl4THJlMnFHSjlUbk1OU1l3aTVIUT09.webp?v=1761613249","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/10000-japanese-idioms-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
