Tango (and not the Argentine variety).

So I've finally made it through Usagi-chan's 23-chapter vocab
quizzer. I made a list as I was going through of any word
that took some work to remember. Most of the words below I
now have no problem with, but I want to keep them in mind
as a vocab list:

anzen

atsumeru

boshuu

chikoko suru vs okureru vs osoku naru

chuumon suru

gakkari suru

hannin

hikkosu

hitorigurashi—helps to learn that kurashi means "to live / get by"

houtteoku—weird word structurally! Kotoba says it can be written with 放 and 置

ijimeru (ijiwarui?)

jirojiro miru

jiyuu

kagu

kankou

keikaku o tateru

keizai

kenkyuu

kesshou

kinchou suru

kion

kokusaikankei—same kokusai as in the phone call, so that helps

konnafuu—i kept saying konna *ni* ("in this way")

koujou

koukan suru

kyoujuu ni

majime

makoto ni

ma ni au—i've seen a lot of 間 as ma recently. hmm

menkyo

mezamashidokei—fine with the tokei part

monosugoku

mudadzukai—the quiz doesn't give parts of speech, so this threw me for a while as just "waste"

naguru

namakemono

nandomo

netsu ga aru

nodo ga kawaku

nusumu

ogoru

rirekisho—this will be easier now that i'm associating reki with history, but the ri still throws me

ryoushin—"both parents", but i still have a hard time remembering it. it's one of those that send a bunch of syllables rolling through my head, trying to match up

sakki

sansei suru

sawaru

seiji

seikaku

seizai

shiai—didn't know it, but it makes sense. i think this entry may have been one of the few bugs in the program (ie, the code wouldn't recognize しあい however i typed or pasted it)

shingou

shinseki

shiten

shokudou—another one that i learned long ago but don't often use shoukai vs shoutai—it's helping me to think of the "coming together" sense of kai

shousetsu

shucchou—the little tsu is what threw me in this one

shufu—confusing because in fuufu the wife has a long vowel

shuuden

shuushoku suru

suisenjou

tameru—helps me to think of the "for the sake of" sense of tame—i am saving money *for* something else

tebukuro—te, of course

tokoya—toko?—any relation to tokasu?

tonikaku—this one is super-strange. the quiz says it means "anyway", but what can its origin be? Kotoba gives kanji for it but says they're ateji

tonkatsu—the infamous pork loin or whatever

tsugou ga warui—warui makes sense; need to find out what "tsugou" is

tsukamaru—hopefully i'll never have empirical knowledge of this one (or of chikan)

uchuujin—this makes sense as a spaceman, but it's tough to remember

ukagau

uketsuke

waribikiken

yoshuu—i know both the kanji but keep forgetting

zeikin—kin is fine, but strange to start a kanji with a "z" reading

zutto

Most of them I can define right now, just looking at them, but in the quiz they're still not coming to me as quickly as they should. I'll do some thinking about them; that'll help.
