Hey there, it\u2019s Min again!<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever been confused about the usage of the verbs OPEN and CLOSE?<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the Japanese verbs \u958b\u3051\u308b\u30fb\u9589\u3081\u308b can be used in all sorts of situations, they aren\u2019t always translated as \u201copen\u201d or \u201cclose\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u300c\u958b\u3051\u308b\u30fb\u9589\u3081\u308b \u300d\u304c\u3001open\/ close\u3067\u306f\u306a\u3044\uff01\uff1f\u4f8b-\u305d\u306e\uff11<\/span><\/h2>\n

For example<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u30ab\u30fc\u30c6\u30f3\u3092\u9589\u3081\u308b\u3002<\/span><\/p>\n

Draw a curtain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30ab\u30fc\u30c6\u30f3\u3092\u958b\u3051\u308b\u3002<\/span><\/p>\n

Draw a curtain (open).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDraw a curtain\u201d can be used to tell someone to \u201copen\u201d or \u201cclose\u201d a curtain. <\/span><\/p>\n

The only way to tell if it should be opened or closed is to look at the curtain. If it\u2019s opened, then you would know that you\u2019re being asked to close it. If it\u2019s closed, then you should open it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u300c\u958b\u3051\u308b \u300d\u304c\u3001open \u3067\u306f\u306a\u3044\uff01\uff1f\u4f8b-\u305d\u306e\uff12<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another example would be<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

E.g.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u301c\u306b\u7a74\u3092\u958b\u3051\u308b<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a hole in _____<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30b8\u30e7\u30cb\u30fc\u306f\u8ee2\u3093\u3067\u819d\u3092\u3064\u3044\u305f\u3002\u30ba\u30dc\u30f3\u306b\u7a74\u304c\u958b\u3044\u305f\u3002<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny slipped and fell on his knees. It created a hole in his pants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since \u201copen\u201d and \u201cclose\u201d are actions that require some form of hand movement like opening a door or opening a packet of chips, creating a hole in something doesn\u2019t fit into that description of \u201copening\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you stumbled across other situations where you stopped and pondered about the usage of \u201copen\u201d and \u201cclose\u201d? <\/span><\/p>\n

I would love to hear about it!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
