Thanks, duo.
I saw a dictionary. Now I think I see what you mean with "mean something very different". In Japan, we say the same word to mean it.
And the dictionay also said that American people have many words to mean it. I didn't know that.
Thanks.
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
