Words and Phrases
● 24-7▶︎1日24時間週７日、いつでも
– 24-7 means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
24-7 means all the time. It can be literal.
– For example, that gas station is open 24-7, 365 days a year,
or it can just mean all the time, or with as much time as possible,
which we see with Melati working on Youthtopia 24-7.
I mean she has to sleep during some of that time.
● changemaker ▶︎チェンジメーカー
– Someone who creates change or makes change.
Someone who uses innovation or creativity to bring about change,
especially with social or environmental issues.
● -centric ▶︎〜中心の
– “-centric” is a suffix, added on to a word, giving the meaning that
it’s focused on that thing, at the center.
– Melati mentioned the term “community-centric,” which means
“focused on a community” or “based on a community.”
● track record▶︎実績
– Reputation, a record of achievements and or failures.
For example, “the doctor has an excellent track record
when it comes to heart surgery. So you don’t need to worry”
means the doctor has a high level of success.
● peer-to-peer ▶︎仲間同士の
– Connecting people directly.
A peer is someone with equal status.
So peer-to-peer connects similar people together, or
those that have a similar goal.
– Melati talked about a peer-to-peer program, which seeks
to connect individuals with others like them or resources.
Peer-to-peer is often abbreviated as p-to-p, especially
when referring to IT.
