Katie MeluaA friends pulled up his mobile and said, “this is something in your taste I believe”. He pressed play and the music of Katie Melua sprang out of the tiny speakers. He was right, absolutely in my taste.

When I came home I looked up the name that I had scrawled on a small piece of paper. iTunes Store had her music but not as iTunes Plus (i.e no DRM) so I went to one of the CD/DVD web shops I use and bought her music on CDs instead.

Arigatō alltså!

Två killar på tunnelbanan pratar om något dator/tv-spel. Ena killen förklarar hur otroligt svårbesegrad en av de kvinnliga motståndarna i spelet är. Han beskriver imponerat de manövrer motståndaren gjort och hur han besegrades och utbrister, “det var bara Arigatō alltså!”

Att man använder engelsk ord på detta sätt har jag ofta hört men det var första gången jag hörde japanska användas så.

Fenomenet att förstärka sitt språk med engelska kanske hör en äldre generation till. Engelska är idag för vanligt, yngre människor söker nya språk att svänga sig med.

I don’t really get the motivation given by the Svenska Akademien but I do think she is well worth the prize.
