Hi everyone!<\/p>\n

Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of the summer.\u00a0Summer beak has officially started in our area, which means kids are home all day, everyday. Oh boy. I am already having a hard time keeping the kids busy especially during the week. We have our family vacation coming up, but not until August. So, it will be a long month of July coming up for me.<\/p>\n

So, this morning, kids were up early for some reason (this doesn’t happen so often), and already making some noise downstairs. They were playing video games in the living room, but as they were playing, they were bouncing up and down on the couch. I just had to yell at the kids, “\u3069\u3093\u3069\u3093\u3000\u3059\u308b\u306e\u3000\u3084\u3081\u3066 (Don don suruno yamete)\uff01”(“Stop bouncing please!” \u00a0or this could also mean, “Stop making all the noise!” )<\/p>\n

The word “don don” is another word that describes state or conditions in Japanese, but it is such a super versatile word that we use on many occasions. So, I figured why not cover this in today’s lesson. Once you are immersed in Japanese language, you will hear this word sooner or later. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Don Don (\u3069\u3093\u3069\u3093\uff0c\u30c9\u30f3\u30c9\u30f3) \u2013 loud noise (such as, knocking the door, beating a drum, and pounding the table loudly) bouncy noise, steadily, fast, away, rapidly, gradually, go ahead, etc. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n
