Japanese word of the day 本日の日本語の単語

今日の日本語の単語はドジです! 多分この単語はイギリス英語の単語'dodgy'から来ました. 分かりませんでも面白いと思います!

Today's Japansese word is ドジ pronounced 'doji'. I guess this word came from the English 'dodgy' but the meaning is slightly different. ドジ is forgetfull or scatty. For example 彼はちょっとドジですね which maybe translates to something like - 'he is bit of scatterbrain isnt he'. For a girl you might say 彼女はちょっとドジですね。 which maybe translates to something like 'she is a bit blonde!' (sorry to all my blonde friends!)
