The term that you're looking for must be "fuzei", not "funzei", and it is written as "風情" in kanji. But, "風情" is not exactly the same as "elegant", and it is a noun, not an adjective. |

ﾍ･ｲ Explanation: Like the asker of "woody", there would be no responsible answer to the question since the word you have chosen is adjective, which is not a stand alone word (it's always have to have word that it modifies). So if your question is something like "elegant lady", "elegant demeanor" then answer is whole a lot easier. So don't tell me I didn't try. OK, I'm not sure the Kanji characters are shown correctly on the screen (without jumble or mojibake) which you are looking. The first is "graceful", the second is "sophisticated" (could be visa versa). Hope you grade as a matter of courtesy. |
