時代に取り残される

HOW TO WOW! Fun Words

時代に取り残される
Left behind the Times

The word:	Closer look at the kanji:	B = Beginner \| I = Intermediate \| A = Advanced
時代に取り残される jidai ni torinokosareru Left behind the Times	時代 jidai time, period, an age に ni particle 取り残される torinokosareru leave behind	時 ji - time, hour [B] 代 dai - time, age, generation [I] 取 to(ri) - take [B] 残 noko(su) - leave [I]

There are times when I feel the weight of technology coming like a freight train.

SUGGESTED USAGE:

時代に取り残されないように、そろばんの勉強を始めた。
jidai ni tori nokosarenai you ni, soroban no benkyou o hajimeta.
So I wouldn't be left behind the times, I started studying the abacus.

ABOUT SUGGESTED USAGE:

～されない ~sarenai - not ~ed This is the passive negative; I would not be left...
ように you ni - so that; in order to
そろばん soroban - abacus; old adding device
の no - possessive in this case, study of soroban
勉強 ben kyou - study
を o - direct object particle What was started was the study of soroban
始めた hajimeta - began simple past
