Vocabulary

Here is some fun and interesting vocabulary that many times is used incorrectly or in a...unique fashion by Japanese students.


Words:
Lavish:
Meaning:  Fancy, very expensive, the best money can buy.


word use.  " I'm wondering if my brother is planning a lavish wedding"
Opposite words:  Simple, practical

Dynamic
Japenglish meaning:  Big, Large in size.  Larger than normal size.  Jumbo


English meaning:  Full of energy, motion, change, activity

so a confusing sentence is

"They have a very dynamic body"
Japenglish--they are very large or fat
English-- they are moving their body a lot, or they move very well. (such as an athlete)
