22 students and two faculty members from Dalian University of Technology in China visited the university for a graduate school tour on Wednesday, November 29.

Office of the Graduate School explained the research at the graduate school and life as an exchange student in Kyoto, and they toured the research labs reserved for graduate students. Professor Pon Fei lectured about several examples of expressions unique to Japanese that are not found in Chinese, as well as expressions of consideration in Japanese, and the participants seemed very interested. In particular, some people were surprised to hear that the expression “a bit (Chotto)”, such as “I don't understand a bit” or “I can't do it a bit,” has the consideration of the Japanese people.

We look forward to the day when we can reunite with them as a graduate student at the university!
