2. It is a way of expressing "understanding". The concept is that gaining an understanding is the same as "getting an idea". 3. It's there because I was typing too quickly and using sayings and shortcuts instead of proper English.

Hi.
Would you correct my English, please? "Mother’s Day" Second Sunday of May is mother’s day in many countries. In Japan too. Many Japanese people give red carnations to mother, and eat “chirashi-zushi”. “Chirashi-zushi” is a type of sushi. We also eat it on birthdays, Girls Festival, and some holidays. There are two types of “chirashi-zushi”. A homemade and a restaurant. I looked for a homemade recipe in English in the web, but there weren’t any proper ones. Of course you can make chirashi-zushi as you like, but you need “kinshi-tamago”(“Tamago” means “eggs”.) on your “chirashi-zusi”, and English recipes don’t have it. It’s a bit difficult to make. The appearance is similar to “sliced crape” (the width is about 3 millimeters.) Add a little salt and a little starch with water (If it’s a bother, you don’t need to add anything to eggs. Me neither.) into beaten eggs and bake it thinly like a paper. Slice them beautifully. Thank you!

I've read that people in western countries give their mothers white carnations. Is this right? What do you give to your mother? If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I YamaP
