やってみますー!

1. When Japanese-speakers name the four seasons, which season always comes first? Just for practice, write all four in the proper order.

春夏秋冬 (しゅんかしゅうとう)ですか。


2. In what month does the academic year for schools as well as the fiscal year for most organizations start in Japan?

4月ですか。

3. What is the spring's first strong gust of wind that is said to bring the season called in Japanese?

春一番だと思います。 

4. What is the other meaning of さくら other than the cherry (tree or blossoms)? For that meaning, the word is always written in kana.

5. What kind of meat is called 桜肉?

馬の肉です!

6. What is the word for "spring rain" and what's its exceptional reading in kana?

春雨ですか? (はるさめ)

7. What is the other meaning of that word above? (Hint: food)

麺類が入ったもともと中国料理なんじゃないですか? 

8. 「春が来る」 has two completely different meanings. Its literal meaning is obvious. What is its figurative meaning? If you're willing to, give me an example sentence using the phrase for that meaning.

お祝いとしてこれを言いますか? いま、文章を作れな いけど。。。

9. Name a few seasonal words for spring that are used in haiku. 

えと。。。私はフランス語の学生で、ちょっと難しいけ ど、蜂はどうですか。  その上。。。ウサギはどうですか? 河を使ってもいい ということも聞いたことがあるんですが。。。

10. Why does the spring break please many Japanese students when it's considerably shorter than the summer break? (This is related to question #2.)

もうすぐ新しい学期が始まるんですから? それとも、 試験がありませんねぇ。
