【No. 1641】Oshare (おしゃれ - Smart/Chic/Fashionable) Part 2

Oshare Part 2

Yesterday, I talked about the Japanese term oshare (おしゃれ), which means to dress up or apply makeup.

Just like the term omekasi (おめかし - "dressing up") which was introduced two days ago, oshare is used as oshare wo suru (おしゃれをする) by combining the verb suru (する - "do").

In addition, you can also use this term as an adjective, such as kanojo wa share da (彼女はおしゃれだ - "she is chic") or oshare na mise (おしゃれな店 - "a fashionable store").

Incidentally, note that if you say share (しゃれ) by clipping the polite prefix o (お), it often means "a play on words."
おしゃれ Part 2

昨日は「服用や身なりを美しく装うこと」を意味する「おしゃれ」について書きました。

「おしゃれ」は(二日前に紹介した)「おめかし」と同様、"do" を意味する「する」をつけて「おしゃれをする」のように使います。

また、「彼女はおしゃれだ」や「おしゃれな店」のように、形容詞として使うこともできます。

ちなみに、丁寧の接頭辞である「お」を省略して「しゃれ」とすると、「人を笑わせる語呂合わせなどの文句」を意味することが多いので注意して下さい。

    a fashion shop = a shop that sell fashion ~ o ~ a fashionable shop = a shop that is elegant and well designed, or a shop that is all the rage, where everybody wants to go, not necessarily a shop that sell clothes

> a fashion shop = a shop that sell fashion ~ o ~ a fashionable shop = a shop that is elegant and well designed,
What I wanted to say is the latter (^^)

In that case you could also say, 'a trendy shop', if it is elegant and it has the latest trends
