Kanji 53 - 54

Bit of a mix tonight. Firstly, we have a new verb that I learnt in class tonight...

着く
つく To arrive

...and now for another verb, a personal favourite (I think I already knew this one!)

酔っぱらう
よ:っぱらう To be drunken

"酔っ払う" sounds a bit oldfashioned,and "酔う(よう)"is
much more common nowadays.

ex)
Matt got drunk on vodka.
マットは、ウォッカで酔った。

However,"酔っ払い(よっぱらい)-a drunken person" is still used.

酒は飲んでも、飲まれるな!
