On Monday, on my way to the station, I saw a lot of young people wearing beautiful kimonos. I guess they were coming home from the Coming of Age Day Ceremony (成人式). We don't have any events like this in Canada.I thought it was very interesting, and the kimono were beautiful.
Today, I'd like to study some expressions for talking about age. The first one is "in his/her XXs." If you want to say, 「彼女は１０代です」, you can say, "She's in her teens." To say ～代前半、なかば、or 後半, just add "early" "middle" or "late. E.g. She's in her late 20s.
Another good expression is 「turn ～」. For example, 「妹は今年２０になった」is "My younger sister turned 20 this year."
20才未満 is "a minor." E.g. "He can't drink because he's still a minor."
Here are some photos I took:
I was so impressed by the creative fashions I saw!
