    We're All In This Together (2) - Shō Ga Nai



    For those furthering their Japanese studies during all their time at home ...

    While the common English translation of the Japanese word shouganai is "it cannot be helped," the expression is often misused by Japanese language learners.

        and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

          From Italy 'Ma che può fare?' - but what can one do, accompanied by a big shrug.. And one of our national hashtags at the moment 'andràtuttobene' - it'll all be OK.
          Good combo of fatalism and optimism!

            Good morning ALL from cloudy Cleveland Ohio!

            I love this Jundo! Brief and right on point...SHO GA NAI!

            or as my wife and I like to say...
            "It is...what it is!"

            Sitting with all of you together..in our social distancing...yet feeling closer than ever.

            Gassho...be well my family!

                  Shoganai!

                  Love it.

                  In Mexican Spanish we say "¡Ya ni modo!".

                    Thank you, Jundo.
                    In Portuguese we say “que se há de fazer!” It has the same meaning as “shoganai”.

                        I’m sheltering on your words of wisdom and humor. I’ve been disconnected and now what a better way to reach our and strength my inner strength and connect with the Sanga. We are one same boat.

                        Thanks Jundo
