Japanese Body Language – 足が遅い

Posted by Bill Belew on January 3rd, 2008 in Japan | Comments Off

足が遅い[あしがおそい, ashi ga osoi] be slow; be a slow walker; be slow on one’s feet

Easy enough to grasp, ashi = leg or foot and osoi is to be slow. 

One's legs are slow.  

They used to say this about me when I participated in running races.

But, I imagine it might be heard, though I have never heard it, when someone is dragging their feet on a business deal as well. 

What's this all about? Learn Japanese from Me
