Hello!
Earlier this year on the first of March, we introduced you to the expression “well-behaved”. If you have an extra moment, we suggest you review that expression, because today we look at its opposite!
NAUGHTY 行儀の悪い、いたずらな
- A child is naughty if he or she behaves (= acts) badly or does not do as told (by his or her parents, teachers, etc.).
- naughty とは、子どもの行儀が悪かったり、(親や教師などから)言われた通りにしなかったりする、という意味です。
- (mother to babysitter)
I don't think you'll have any trouble with the kids tonight. But if they ARE naughty, call me on my cell phone. - Eddie's teacher called. He's been naughty at school again.
- (father to child)
If you don't stop being naughty, I'm not going to let you watch cartoons today. - Santa doesn't give presents to naughty boys and girls - only nice ones.
You deserve a gold star for good behavior!
