 Re: slang for 'modern'
Thank you very much, everybody.
>>Additionally, "in"; e.g., It's in. Cf. It's out. Japanese, out-i (?) <<
'Out-i' - very interesting, but it's impossible, IMHO. LOL
>>Itasan, would that suffix be related to long "ii", meaning good?<<
Oh, you know it very well. ii = good. It seems it doesn't apply in this case. Or maybe it does. Sorry it's difficult.
Adjectives ending in 'i': oishii, mazui, subarashii, so 'ii' might be one of them. Sorry I'm not a good Japanese teacher.
BTW, "Your hat's in today." "His glasses are out."
Do they work, meaning 'fashionable' and 'unfashionable'?
