"How do you say the least favorite country in Japanese?"
Asked by a colleague, I paused, and pondered over how we say. But couldn't come up with the right words off hand.
He continued, "It's not that I hate it. I like it, but it's the least favorite."
Anyway, he was talking about France. To my surprise, he actually much prefers learning Japanese to French. Wow. Most Americans that I know complain about the Japanese language, saying it's too difficult.
Well, anyhow, his question is actually pretty profound. Do we have a concept of the "least favorite" in Japan in the first place....???
