Japanese Proverb: 馬の耳に念仏 (uma no mimi ni nenbutsu)

Let’s learn from Japanese proverb (kotowaza)

馬 : uma : horse の : possesive marker 耳 : mimi : ear に : particle with a lot of usage 念仏 : nenbutsu : Buddhist recitation This proverb is similar to “Don’t cast your pearls before swine”. Which means, To offer or show something valuable, good, or beautiful to someone who does not understand its value.

Happy learning °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

So today I learned a new word in Japanese, 無茶. It means absurd or unreasonable, but is written (for phonetic reasons, probably) with kanji meaning ‘without tea’.

@annleckie

[brittnihongo]

無茶苦茶・むちゃくちゃ・nonsensical; unreasonable; absurd; unrealistic​

No Tea Bitter(pain) Tea
