| SHIN |
When you eat the spicy peppers, your upper lip gets SHINY with sweat. |
|
This spicy sauce is hotter than ten peppers standing end to end. |
| から*い |
spicy hot, not fresh-from-the-oven hot (BOOBOO)
★★★☆☆ |
| つら＊い |
something is tremendously difficult or painful to do - (the life of a coal miner is hard!). Not only does つらい have nothing to do with からい, but they both LOOK the same: 辛い、辛い. - so there's no way to tell which is which! (although usually つらい is written in hiragana, and からい is written with kanji )

★☆☆☆☆
spices - not just hot ones. This is the only word you'll ever need the onyomi for. Sorry. |
