peer agreement (net): +1a gift (of food) when visiting someone's place Explanation: Japanese bring a gift (of food, usually) when visiting someone's home. Originally, when a host serves the gift to the guest, the host says "Omotase de sumimasenga..." (which means "I hope you don't mind my serving what you brought, but please do have some.") But, recently "Omotase" is also used as a "gift you bring to someone's home". Reference: http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa012801b.htm |
