Tokyo tourist map: Beta - Non Betaa

ベタ

If yous know a smattering of Japanese together with yous are listening to Japanese people talking alongside themselves, yous may good grab what sounds similar the discussion "better" together with recall they are using katakana English linguistic communication to limited a preference for something.

However, the chances are that rather than betaa, with its long drawn out concluding "ah" sound, that corresponds to the English linguistic communication "better," yous are truly overhearing the discussion beta ("beh-ta"), which is quite unlike - almost contrary - inwards meaning, inwards fact.

Sore wa beta na hyogen da 「それはベタな表現だ」, or Beta na hassou da ベタな発想だ mean, respectively, "That's a hackneyed expression" or "(That's a) humdrum idea."

According to a contributor to the fantabulous Yahoo Chiebukuro (literally "Yahoo Knowledge Bag") website, an online forum for all possible kinds of questions, in that place are 2 possibilities when it comes to beta's roots.

One is that beta is a corruption of the discussion subete, or "everything," "all," inwards the feel of "covering everyhing," "being all the same," together with that this developed inwards virtually the 17th century.

The other approaches this same persuasion of "uninterupted sameness" together with "lack of differentiation" from a completely unlike angle, i.e., from the established pregnant of beta (べた, inwards hiragana, non katakana) equally "mud," this mud beingness used to stimulate sum inwards all the gaps - equally on an former block wall, for example - to brand the surface shine together with featureless.

Whichever the theory that yous larn with, in that place are many words inwards Japanese inwards purpose today that limited this feel of flatness, e.g., betanuri べた塗り agency epitome or spreading a gist over a surface to brand its smooth, betanagi べた凪 agency calmness or wavelessness on a trunk of water, betaashi べた足 is a golfing term used to depict planting your feet apartment on the terra firma earlier making a swing, betabore べた惚れ agency to autumn hopelessly inwards dearest with individual ("fall apartment inwards love" form of works inwards English, too!), together with betabome べた褒め agency to praise individual to the skies (in the feel of completely ["smoothly" if yous like] slathering them with praise).

By the halt of the 18th century, saucy Edo-period brusk novels, which closely mirrored life on the streets, were including the discussion beta inwards the feel of "lacking a twist" together with beingness "two a penny" - a usage which earlier long found its mode into the linguistic communication of artists together with entertainers to depict cliched, corny, unimaginative and same-old-same-old.

So locomote out along a closed ear out for whether that finally "ah" audio is brusk or lengthened. There's a crucial difference.

Zenzen beta na hanashi ja nai ne! 全然ベタな話じゃないね! (It's non your everyday form of storey at all, is it!)
