前回は、It’s tea time. が、なんと夕食の時間のことだというお話でした。
では、お茶の時間のことは、ニュージーランドではなんというのでしょう？
■Would you like a cuppa?
When we want to invite someone over to drink tea,
we say: “Would you like a cuppa?”
So if you go to New Zealand and someone asks you “would you like a cuppa” or “how about coming over for a cuppa”, they are asking you to have a hot drink of tea or coffee with them!
Now you have learned the difference between: “It’s tea time!” and “Would you like a cuppa?” an important part of NZ culture!
「カッパ」ってお茶のこと？？
そう、cuppa はa cup of tea の略なんですね。
