New in Japanese 🇯🇵

あたらしい info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Associate the sound "あたらしい" (atarashii) with the English word "new" by thinking of starting something "fresh" or "new."
– Break down the word: "あたら" (atara) might remind you of "a tara" (like a fresh start), and "しい" (shii) could remind you of "she," starting something new.

Explanations:
– あたらしい (atarashii) is an adjective used to describe something that is new or fresh.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 新しい (あたらしい, atarashii) – new
– 新規 (しんき, shinki) – new, fresh, novel (often used in a business context)

Alternate meanings like slang:
– While "あたらしい" primarily means "new," there are no commonly used slang forms of this word. However, it can sometimes mean "recent" in informal contexts.
