| Comments: | I suspect the kokugos are a bit behind modern usage. I think dilettante fits in quite well with the other glosses. |

| Refs: | GG5: a dilettante 《pl. -ti》; an amateur; a person who ┏has [goes through] fads If I'm reading them correctly, none of the kokugos seem to agree with the "trend chaser" definition given by GG5. It doesn't seem to me that "dilettante" is correct. meikyo: 変わったことに興味を持つ人。 obunsha: 変わった物事に興味を持つ人。物好き。 sankoku: 損得を考えず、すきでする人。ものずき。 shinmeikai: 普通の人には何の興味も無いような物事に関心を寄せる人。 |
