Ohnishi: 長いね。

Roza: That’s a long middle name.

Ohnishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

Roza: Excellent. And let’s continue to the last few. These are short.

• As in?
• As in what?
• Like how?
• How so?
• That’s too much information.

David: Be careful with these last ones. Like Roza said, they are very short, so it’s a very casual way to say these things.

Roza: Good point David. That’s not too much information.

David: Nice.

Ohnishi: Hey guys, you know, I filleted fish last night. 魚、さばいちゃったんですよね。First, I chopped off …
