Makoto E-Zine series #77 Recommended for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. You can also buy this series on Amazon by clicking here - Makoto #77 Kindle or Paperback Edition Do you know the etymology for 富士山 (ふじさん - Mt. Fuji)? No? Well, don’t feel bad. No one else really knows for sure, but in today’s issue, we explore a few intriguing origin stories. Hint: it has something to do with Princess Kaguya! The beginner reader, titled “Mandarin Orange,” is a fun story about how easy it is to mess up Japanese. It’s a great example of how trying to be polite can sometimes come off as shockingly rude. The cover says, 暑(あつ)くなってきましたね, which means, “It’s becoming hot, don’t you think?” This phrase combines the adverbial form of  暑(あつ)い (hot) and なってきました which indicates a process that has been happening and has now reached the present. "なって" (becoming) + "きました" (has come to be) implies that the temperature has been rising and it is now noticeably hot.
