「GTOは古いです。今やGSMです。」
= GTO wa furui desu. Imaya GSM desu.
= GTO is old now. It’s time for GSM!
Hi, everyone! It’s time to review all the Super Basic Words that I tweeted in past few months again.
(If you don’t know what I am talking about, go check my previous review lessons. I have been teaching one word per day on Twitter.
:u:
I know one word may not seem to be enough to master Japanese but see how much we have learned so far.
:u:
OK, in this Part 8, I have been focusing on adjectives.
:maggie-small: From the picture above :
「GTOは古いです。今やGSMです。」
= GTO wa furui desu. Imaya GSM desu.
= GTO is old now. It’s time for GSM!
GTO = Great Teacher Onizuka = a very popular manga, TV series.
:n: GSM = Great Sensei Maggie :)
Note : 今や= imaya = an emphasizing form. Now it’s time for…
OK, ready?

GSM,安心なと安全同じですか?
@mestu
No. 安心な is psychological thing. Feeling of security. Feeling of relief, to be in peace
Ex. それを聞いて安心しました。= I am relieved to hear that.
安全な means “safe” or physical security, risk-free,
Ex. 安全な場所= safe place
So it is possible to say 安全で安心に暮らす= anzen de anshin ni kurasu= to live safely in peace of mind
GSM is much more interesting than GTO indeed.
@Akazuki Japan
Oh, Thank you!!!! ありがとう! from GSM :)
