Tokidoki

 かわいい!!!ときどき は だいすきです!
Today in class we learned frequency adverbs to add to our vocabulary. These include the words いつも(always), たいてい (usually), よく (often), ときどき (sometimes), and ぜんぜん (not at all). I think these words will be very useful to know. It was interesting to learn that "tokidoki" (ときどき)meant "sometimes" because there is a Japanese brand I really like called "Tokidoki" by an Italian designer. I didn't know the name actually meant something, so it is neat to finally make the connection. Here are some Tokidoki designs.

  3. Taitei is correct for usually. Daitai means approximately(around).

  4. Ha! For me as well, ときどき is one of the very few Japanese words I could pick out before にほんご 101... as it is in Utada Hikaru's "Wait & See"!

    "ときどき こどく かんじても だいじょぶ” (sometimes it is ok to feel isolated?)

  5. ときどき is one of my favorites as well! I'm not usually one for name brand anything, but they're all so cute how can you not love them?
