It is said that the "mochi" in “yakimochi“ comes from "kimochi" meaning "feeling". “Yakimochi” of the ”jealous” kind is usually written in hiragana: やき- yaki. もち- mochi. 🙆‍♂️🆗🙆‍♀️ . 👉Watch｜Magical Japanese: Wagashi｜Free On Demand｜NHK WORLD-JAPAN website.👀 . 👉For more Japanese language learning and 🆓 free video, audio and text resources, visit Learn Japanese on NHK WORLD-JAPAN’s website and click on Easy Japanese.✅ . 👉Tap in Stories/Highlights to get there.👆 . 👉Follow the link in our bio for more on the latest from Japan. . 👉If we’re on your Favorites list you won’t miss a post. . . #やきもち #yakimochi #jealousy #grilledricecake #grilledmochi #japanesefood #japanesewords #easyjapanese #japaneseonline #hiragana #romaji #japaneselanguage #freejapanese #learnjapanese #learnjapaneseonline #日本語 #nihongo #일본어 #japanisch #bahasajepang #ภาษาญี่ปุ่น #日語 #tiếngnhật #japan #nhkworldjapan」11月26日 6時00分
