About the Show

Spy x Family スパイファミリー is about a dad who is a spy who, for his mission, adopts a girl and finds a woman willing to pretend to be his wife. The mom is an assassin, and a little girl is a telepath. The father doesn’t know about the mother’s job and the mother doesn’t know about the father’s job. Neither parent knows about the girl’s power. Only the little girl knows all… And she thinks its so cool.

It’s a fun show and one of the most popular anime in Japan right now.

In today’s lesson, we’ll look at how the name honorific 君(くん) is sometimes used to refer to girls and also how to use fractions in Japanese.


Line by Line

Let’s go over the vocabulary found in the scene

では この問題(もんだい)の答(こた)えを… アーニャ･フォージャー君(くん)

Now, to answer this question… Anya Forger.

Vocabulary



３分(ぶん)の３！

Three thirds!

Vocabulary


うん 全然(ぜんぜん) 不正解(ふせいかい)

Uhm, that’s totally incorrect.
