Hey everyone, for the first lesson this month I will take my inspiration from my Japanese studies. I recently learned the word 空想 (くうそう). For example:
あの人はいつも空想してばかりだ！
That guy is always daydreaming!
The kanji mean sky + idea so this made me think of another possible translation:
That guy always has his head in the clouds!
This sounds a bit more poetic. It is made using the idiom to have one's head in the clouds. Here's a sample conversation:
Harry: Hey Tom!
Tom: ...(staring off into to space)
Harry: HELLo?!!? Earth to Tom...
Tom: Oh sorry, I had my head in the clouds.
Harry: What were you daydreaming about?
Tom: Marrying Jessica ^_^
Harry: What? She's way out of your league!
Tom: Yeah, but it's fun to daydream about.
Have a nice week,
Phil
