I love learning languages!
Language learning notebook for polyglots.

愛しい

I came across this one also from isekai office worker’s ED lyrics.

独りじゃない戸惑いを愛しく思う
I cherish this confusion of not being alone

Decided to put this down since saw this word listed under 好き in the vocabulary book I got recently.

意味

可愛くて仕方ない。そばにいたいと思う。「愛おしい」とも。

例文

我が家の猫は素っ気ない。だからこそ、甘えてくる瞬間が愛しい。

練習

娘が「ママ」と呼ぶ時、愛しいです。

私に is usually omitted.

Vocabulary Book – 12歳までに知っておきたい語彙力図鑑

Saw someone recommending this vocab book that was intended for 小学生 in Japan, looks kinda cute and fun. Will be going through the book!

ておく – doing something in advance to prep for future

知っておく – know in advance (for thee future)

知っておきたい – want to know in advance (to prep for the future)

Basically it’s like those “Words you need to know before you’re 12” kind of vibe.

Will share as I read along!
