Aversion To Hot Foods
noun
A cat's tongue is for some reason associated with an aversion to hot foods. I guess I haven't seen a cat drinking up boiling milk, but whatever. Just imagine a cat licking up something super hot and freaking out. Cats don't like hot things, which is why this is an aversion to hot foods.
The reading is the two vocab words separately put together, just as you'd expect from a body-part related kanji. So, 猫 plus 舌 = ねこじた. Just remember that 舌 is read here as じた, and not した.
私が猫舌だってこと、忘れてない?
Aren't you forgetting that I have an aversion to hot foods?
ごめんなさい。私、猫舌なんです。
I'm sorry. I can't eat hot things.
コウイチは猫舌なので、スープをふうふうしないと食べられません。本当でしょうか嘘でしょうか?
Koichi doesn’t like hot food, so he can’t eat soup without blowing on it. Is this true or false?
