気働き(Kihataraki)

Hello again. I'm Marina.

I will talk about Japanese action. it is "気働き(Kihataraki means to be quick to take the appropriate action)

1. Caring for another person.
2.Paying attention to details.
3. Guessing what a person wants before they know want it.

For example, you are working at super market, then a customer asks you "Do you have some cabbage?" you can answer " Yes we have some cabbage" , but if you answer " Yes we have some cabbage here it is" you have read the customer's mind and you will guide them to the location. This type of action is Kihataraki.

Now, I will explain more. Look at picture.
Picture #1.is this situation, he is really sweaty, and he look thirsty. So she gives some water to him.

Picture#2. The husband is wearing sandal, but the sandal broken has a strap, so wife gives him new ones as a present.

Do you understand more Japanese???
