Japanese words can have different “temperatures.”
「捕まった」(tsukamatta)
can sound serious: “got caught.”
「呼び止められた」(yobitomerareta)
is softer: “was stopped and spoken to.”
That difference causes today’s misunderstanding. 🐾

@sakura-sumire.bsky.socialIn Japan, autumn is often called 「食欲の秋」 — the season for appetite. 🍁
Today’s Japanese:
「別腹」(betsubara)
It’s a playful way to say you’re full but still have room for dessert. 🍰
@sakura-sumire.bsky.socialWho decided that autumn is the season for reading? 🍁
Today’s Japanese:
「決めた」(kimeta) = decided
「誰が決めたの？」
Dare ga kimeta no?
“Who decided that?”
Learn it through a short autumn story with Sakura and Sumire.
