【No. 0808】Naruhodo (I see)

Mar 5, 2017 09:52
Today I will talk about the Japanese term "naruhodo."

"Naruhodo" is a helpful phrase that is used when you express your thought of agreeing or satisfying with someone's opinion.

"Naru" of "naruhodo" means "establish," "hodo" means "limit," and "naruhodo" originally meant "as much as possible."

It is thought that this became to mean "obvious," then changed to the meaning of "indeed."

Incidentally, there is an Internet slang phrase (joke) "naruhodo, wakaran," which means "I see, I don't understand."

This phrase is used when you can't understand expositions due to difficult terms/phrases, even if they are explained in detail.
なるほど

今日は「なるほど」という日本語を紹介します。

「なるほど」は、相手の意見に同意したり、納得したりする際に用いる言葉です。

「なるほど」の「なる」は「出来る」、「ほど」は「限界」を意味し、「なるほど」はもともと「できる限り」という意味を持っていました。

これが「明らか」という意味を持つようになり、現在の「確かに」という意味を持つようになったと考えられています。

ちなみに、インターネットのスラング(ジョーク)に、「なるほど、わからん」というものがあります。

丁寧に説明がなされているものの、用語や言い回しが難解すぎて意味が理解できない際に使われます。
