One of August assignments for pen calligraphy was a message to colleagues. It is simple, but nicely gave complement towards project kickoff. 8月号ペン部の課題に、同期へ向けたメッセージがありました。プロジェクトの無事の立ち上げを労う内容です。
In the message, there is a word “同期”, which is very Japanese-like word. It is similar to “colleagues” or “co-worker” in English, but includes special meanings that she/he graduated the school and started to work in same company, in same year. 同期とはなかなか日本らしい言葉です。英語ではcolleagues やco-workersという同僚を指す言葉がありますが、新規採用という企業文化がない事を思えば、同期と同意義で使うには判断が難しいところです。
