Words of the Day VII

I'm rather poor

Today, I felt bad about how poor I am. I'm rather poor.


Japanese Word of the Day is: アルバイト
                                          Arubaito

English Word of the Day is:  Poverty


Arubaito is a loan word from german. Arbeit in german means work, but in japanese it means a part time job. Maybe there is some historical significance to the german word for work meaning a part time job in Japanese. Maybe it's dutch? Maybe Juan should have done more research before going balls deep into his post. All I know is that I want a job.

Poverty means below the income threshold, unable to supply the basic necessities for survival. There is a difference between being poor and poverty, however, one which we must all understand, and I will explain now.  

Arubaito in a sentence:  アルイバイトがなかったら、お客さまの金玉が死ぬ。
                                 If you don't have a part time job, your ball will die.

Well, that's about it for me today. Tell me in the comment section if your balls have ever died!

    I will make it my goal to add "If you don't have a part time job, your ball will die." at least once a week in conversation.

    Don't feel bad about having no money, we're all struggling these days! Part time job = better than no job at all! :D
