Japanese WOTD: 鍵っ子

Every week I learn something new from my Japanese class. Now I have the bad habit of never copying notes (rationale: I never look at them afterwards anyway) in class and tend to rely on my *ahem* awesome short-term memory to remember new things. Unfortunately, my long-term memory is sorely lacking…

The best part about blogs such as this is that they’re indexable and searchable! So why not regular posts on new Japanese learnings? (Briliant, Terra, brilliant) ^_^

Today’s 日本語語彙 is: 鍵っ子（かぎっこ）

It looks like it’s a direct translation from the English term latch-key child; in Chinese it’s 挂钥匙儿童 (suǒ yào shi ér tóng).
