Common English Mistakes #3 - smart

...also in English the word smart has a different meaning to スマート in Japanese.
In English smart does not refer to body shape, but dress style.

eg. "He is wearing his new suit for the wedding. He looks really smart"

...but not "He has been working out at the gym. He looks smart"
which should be "He has been working out at the gym. He looks thin / He has lost weight"

so SMART...



and THIN...
