Grab a giant cup of Matcha because we are dropping our very first 1-hour mega episode!This week, we are diving deep into the beautiful, confusing, and completely essential world of Japanese linguistics. Specifically, Misato is putting Cherine through the ultimate linguistic gauntlet: Giseigo and Gitatago (Japanese Onomatopoeia).

In English, things go "buzz" or "splash." But in Japanese, there are thousands of words that describe things like the sound of staring intensely (ji---), the texture of something slimy (neba-neba), or the feeling of being completely exhausted (boro-boro). Cherine tries to guess what these bizarre double-words mean based on context clues, leading to some hilariously wrong answers and deep realizations about how the Japanese brain perceives the world.
