** ENRYO & KENSON (謙遜:けんそん(to express lower estimation of oneself than what other people expect))

ENRYO is "deep consideration" when directly translated. The translated words would be correct for each case. However, ENRYO is one concrete concept for native Japanese.

KENSON also is based on the same concept of ENRYO.

I think these concepts confuse foreign people about Japanese behavior.

Or do foreigners understand these concept very well?


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
