こんにちは、皆さん！^-^ The Japanese word for the day is...*drum roll*

 

笑いのツボ、（わらいのツボ）、warai no tsubo

I thought this was funny! I know I've been "labor shamed" by my mom for not doing her a favor. "I only carried you for nine month; room and board for free." :P

 

 

いみ（meaning）：Sense of humor

The queen of humor herself! She could not not be mentioned, haha. xD


れいぶん（example sentence）：私は彼女の笑いのツボが好きです。watashi wa kanojo no warai no tsubo ga suki desu.

 

ほんやく（translation）：I like her sense of humor.

 

I thought this word was really neat. :P You can describe people's sense of humor with a plethora of adjectives; odd, dark, sarcastic, hilarious, kooky etc.

 

Any and all questions about the language are welcomed in the comments section or through PM! Heads up: there may or may not be a Japanese word of the day tomorrow (Saturday). じゃあ、またね！^-^

A sensei (先生) is a teacher or an instructor. I suppose it depends on the context of "master". If you are referring to someone in a higher, more respectable position than yourself, for example a maid addressing the head of house, one might use the suffix -sama (様), although this can also be used to express great admiration.

so what is 'Master' in japanese? sensei?

Wubtavia is correct -- せんせい (sensei) can mean master in some contexts and さま (sama) can as well. ^-^ In addition to Wubtavia explanation, a word that translates directly as master is the word 主 (shu).
