「脱ぐ」は「put off」ではなく「take off」が正しい！日本語と英語、感覚の違いが分かるようになる！

This is how you use different words in Japanese. But in English, it's very simple. Hello everyone! I'm Nishizawa Roy, an English doctor. In this channel, I teach you about how to learn English in a very simple and easy way. Roy-san, you told me about taking off your clothes the other day. Taking off your clothes means taking off your clothes, right? That's right. I thought that taking off your clothes means taking off your clothes, but why do you use the word take? The answer is that it's easy if you feel the difference in English. The theme of this video is taking off and taking off. I'd like to talk about these two types of English expressions. First, to describe wearing clothes, in English, there are basically two ways of saying put on and wear. Many people wonder what the difference is, but before that, I'd like to explain the difference between Japanese and English. This is a very important point in understanding English. In Japanese, there are many other ways of saying clothes, right? For example, what do you do with your pants, Tony? I wear my pants. That's right. You also wear your shoes, right? Then what about your hat? I wear my hat. Then what about your gloves? I wear my gloves. I think that's good, and there's also wearing them. By the way, I'm from Hokkaido, so I wear my gloves when I speak Hokkaido dialect. You wear your gloves? I'm surprised. I think a lot of people find it strange, but I think it's because the shape of the gloves is separated from the thumb. It's called miton in English. It's like a pot holder, and the fingers aren't separated at the bottom. I think it's because of that. So I wear my gloves with the same feeling as wearing my socks. Well, let's go back to the starting line. Then what about the ring? The ring is a hameru. In Japanese, the words change like this. Why is that, Tony? It's kind of strange. I think the Japanese language changes depending on the body part. For example, if you say you wear a T-shirt, you wear it on your head. It's Japanese to use various words like this. But in English, it's very simple. You can say everything using put on. If it's a T-shirt, put on a T-shirt. If it's pants, put on pants. If it's a hat, put on a hat. If it's a ring, put on a ring. And that's not all. There are many other things you can put on. Do you know what it is, Tony? If it's not just this, does that mean you can put it on other than clothes? That's right. You can put it on other than clothes and jewelry. What do you think it is? I'll give up a little. For example, make-up. Put on a make-up. It's the same as wearing and taking off clothes. You can use put on for things you can wear and take off. You put on makeup in the morning and put it off at night. That's not all. For example, smile or expression. Put on a smile. Put on a big smile. You can say that. Is it a smile? I'm a little surprised. Because you can make a smile and not a smile. So it might be a good idea to think of it as a mask. It doesn't have to be a smile from the bottom of your heart. You can make a smile for the staff you're serving. You can make a smile so you don't worry about people around you. It might be a good idea to have that kind of image. When you think of it as a mask, you get an image. There's one more thing. That's weight. Does that mean you gain weight? That's right. You can gain or lose weight. For example, I put on 6 pounds. I gained about 3 pounds. You can say that. You can use it for a lot of things. So why do we use the same word in English? There's an important point about the English sense here. The verb represents the action. In other words, it's the same action, so we use the same verb. It's not because of the clothes. I'm looking at it in action. The sense of this area is quite different from Japanese. So what kind of action is it? Let's take a look at the difference between put on and wear. First of all, it's put on, but it's often translated as put. On means contact. It's like you're in contact with your body. On means you're wearing it. In other words, it's like you're in contact with your body. That's the action of put on. When it comes to clothes, it's like you're wearing them. It's a change from when you're not wearing them to when you're wearing them. In other words, it's the action of wearing clothes. On the other hand, the basic of wear is that you're wearing them. Put on is a momentary action of putting on and wearing. But in the case of wear, it's wearing. In other words, it's a verb that makes you feel the length of time. That's the basic. As I explained earlier, put on is the action of wearing, and wear is the action of wearing. There are people who line them up in parallel and make a mess. I don't want you to think of it that way. Because if you line them up in parallel like that, If you say put on is put on and wear is wear, In the sense of wearing, you can't use wear. But in fact, you can use both. For example, if you want to tell someone you're wearing a jacket, You can also say put on your jacket. Wear your jacket. You can also say this perfectly. Can you say both? That's right. So there are too many people who don't know exactly what the difference is. This means that you don't know the meaning of wear very well. You can't even try to translate it into Japanese and understand it. So what kind of action is wear? If you draw it in a diagram, it will be very simple and easy to understand. As I said earlier, wear is wearing. It's an expression that makes you feel the length and width of time. There are basically three meanings of wear. The first one is that the state of being worn lasts. But that's not all. The second one is that it changes from the state of not being worn to the state of being worn. It also means that it lasts. In this case, it's pretty close to put on. How is it different? I want you to feel it for yourself. Put on your jacket. This means that it changes from the state of not wearing a jacket to the state of wearing it. And wear your jacket. This means that you are wearing your clothes as they are. I see. It's pretty close, but does it mean that you should wear it as it is? If you grasp it strictly, it will be such an interpretation. But put on is also a momentary action of wearing. It's normal to wear it as it is once you wear it. So as a result, it means almost the same. It can be said that there is a subtle difference in nuance, and it can be said that it is almost the same. If you stick to the word, you may be able to make a difference. For example, when you want to say, I want you to wear a jacket just for now to say hello, you use put on instead of wear. You may be able to choose such a word, but you don't have to. It's a really subtle nuance difference. By the way, I said that wear has three meanings, but there is another meaning. If you wear clothes all the time, the clothes will be worn out and worn out. There is a meaning like that in wear. It's a big deal, so please hold it together. In fact, in that case, it's not just a word of wear, but wear out or wear down. It can also be used as an adverb. If you are interested, please check out the dictionary. So, the difference between put on and wear when it comes to wearing. And in the first place, in English, you can put on various things. I think you understand that you can wear. Next, let's go to take off. When you say take off, the expression take off is used the most. The opposite of on is off, right? The state of contact with the body is on, and the movement to let go of the body is off. And the verb is the most common to use take, but Tony asked me a question earlier, and the question I get from time to time is, if it's put on to wear, isn't it put off to take off? I feel like it's a good idea to put it off. This is a good idea to imagine a little more specific movement. For example, let's think about a T-shirt. Put on a T-shirt. What happens to that T-shirt later? Does it stay on or something like that? That's right. It's on. It stays in contact with the body. While wearing that T-shirt, it's always in contact with the body. It's on. You put it in that state, so it's put on. So what happens when you take it off? What happens to the shirt when you take it off? You put it in the laundry basket. That's after you take it off. Of course, you can put it in the laundry basket, or you can leave it on the floor. I think it depends on the person. What happens to the T-shirt the moment you take it off? What do you mean by the moment you take it off? When you wear it, the moment you put it on, it's in contact with the body, and that's when you put it on. What happens to the T-shirt the moment you take it off? Does it stay in your hand? That's right. It stays in your hand. When you wear it, you put it in contact with the body, and that's when you put it on. But when you take it off, you don't put it anywhere. That's why it doesn't fit. Is that so? In short, the moment you take it off, it feels like it's tubular. Tony said he had it in his hand, but the clothes that were in contact with the skin are separated from the skin. That's why I'm moving off first. When you take off your clothes, you basically use your hands. Please imagine. Take off your T-shirt. Take off your jacket. Take off your hat. Take off your pants. Take off your shoes. You basically use your hands. That's why it's take off. It's because you grab it with your hands and let it go. The core image of take off is to grab it with your hands. So whether it's a shirt or not, you use your hands to let go of all your clothes. That's why it's basic to take off everything when you take it off. I agree. So when you take it off, you don't put it anywhere. It's in a tubular state. It's like you're holding it by hand. So it doesn't feel like a putt. If you think it's weird to put it off, that's a great thing. So it's important to imagine the movement in this way. That's why it's important. So, I hope you can imagine the movement in this way. Even though it's put on, I understand why take off is take off. It was really refreshing. I was able to understand it from the image of verbs and adjectives, so I don't have to hesitate anymore.
