Thank goodness for our electronic Japanese dictionary.

We carry our Canon Wordtank everywhere. Last night at dinner with friends it came in handy several times. What’s the Japanese word for “brisket”? Kantan means simple, but so does tonboku. Which one is better? How do you say “nuclear physics” in Japanese?

All these hurdles came up during dinner and the Wordtank leapt them, if not gracefully, at least with some ease.

BTW, brisket is mune nikku. Posted by kuri at October 23, 2000 03:26 AM
