☆ gentle　寛大な

============================

You can use “gentle” to describe someone’s personality,
but it is also used to describe a person’s voice or actions.
You can even use it to describe the weather, or a game of
tennis!

Here are some examples:

She is a very gentle woman.
Stan’s voice was gentle and consoling.
The wind has dropped to a gentle breeze.
Let’s have a gentle game of tennis today! (The nuance
here is that they usually play a hard or tough game.)

Can you make a sentence?

See you,
Chris

人の性格を表す際に“gentle”を使いますが、人の声や行動に対しても使える言葉です。
また、天気やテニスの試合などに対しても使えますよ！
例：
She is a very gentle woman.
(彼女はとても寛大な女性です)

Stan’s voice was gentle and consoling.
(スタンの声はとても優しくて気が休まる)

The wind has dropped to a gentle breeze.
(風がやんで優しいそよ風になった)

Let’s have a gentle game of tennis today!
(今日のテニスは穏やかな試合をしましょう！)
(※いつもはハードで激しい試合をするというニュアンスを含みます)

あなたも文章を作ってみて下さいね。

それでは！
