今日もジェニのピカピカ日本語にようこそ。

I hope you would learn a new expression today.

The Japanese government has banned foreigners from entering the country since November 30, after the WHO designated Omicron, a new mutated virus confirmed in South Africa, as a "mutated strain of concern".

I was hoping that the number of infected people would decrease and we would soon be able to operate freely, but I am disappointed to see that the situation has gone backwards.

Anyway, today's Japanese word of the day is "Nantonaku"（なんとなく）.

For example, when the teacher asks, "Did you understand?  and you feel that you don't fully understand, you may answer, なんとなくわかりました"Somehow I understood.
