🌻 요츠바랑! 👧 よつばと! 🏡 Homethread

I read it as 이웃삼촌, and was like “but they’re girls??” :rofl:

Oups, I forgot to look at the pages for this week (week 3) and ended up reading more by accident, so I’ll post my thoughts before I finish next week as well :sweat_smile:. As usual, it was hilarious. This actually reminds me of the time I similarly accidentally locked myself in a bathroom as a toddler, my grandma still rants about it to this day.

This scene below I found particularly funny. It’s definitely an intermediate grammar point however.

Week 3

I found this little bit so cute, and I could hear the onomatopoeia. :laughing:

Love how kids being straighforward can be so… harsh? :rofl:

Same! I may end up just reading it at my normal pace, as it’s hard to hold back…

Does anyone happen to know what’s going on with the series? Is it on hiatus? It’s been quite a few years since the latest volume was published… :thinking:

I haven’t read this week yet, but since everyone seeming to read the book is wanting to go faster (myself included) we could move things along!
How about 2 chapters a week?
So week 3 (this week): chapters 2 & 3
Week 4: chapters 4 & 5
Week 5: chapters 6 & 7
If everyone is on board, I’ll update the schedule, and get to reading asap :grin:

I’d be happy with that, as long as you feel that it would be manageable for you! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m okay with it, I’ve been dedicating a lot of time to reading lately, it might as well be Yotsuba. When I came up with the schedule I had never attempted to read a book, and thought it would take me a lot longer to go through chapters, but now I have to keep myself from reading Yotsuba early in the week because I know I’ll want to read more :sweat_smile:

And on that note, I have a question about this chapter, but the app won’t let me screenshot, sorry about that.
I’m on page 75, where Yotsuba introduces herself to the 아줌마, and she says “요츠바야요”. Is that just her attempting to use 존댓말 and mixing it with 반말? Or am I missing something?

I’m pretty sure it’s just toddler speak. Similar thing with her using -슴미다, it’s not grammatically correct but still understandable, and really that’s all that matters considering her age.

If you specifically want to take a screenshot, you can do it through the web browser but yeah unfortunately the app won’t let you

That makes sense, thanks!
