太っ腹 Hutoppara=Generous

私の友人で、部下をもつ人が

新入生の歓迎会の時におごった。

 

なので、私が*太っ腹!*

と言ったら、*それ、女の人には褒め言葉にならないって*

と言われた・・・、(笑)

 

My friend who has subordinate supported eating financilly

when welcome party was held.

 
So I said *You are 太っ腹=Hutoppara=generous!*
She said *For women 太っ腹=Hutoppara does not mean praise *
 
P.S
Hutoppara means generou in Japanese concept.
However the another meaning of hutoppara means fatty.
 
So my comment does not make her happy.
