Birazcık yanlış

"And so is my wife." is better.

That's what I wanted to make sure. How would you say it instead?

Do you just mean when someone's vision gets worse with time?

When you get older, your eyes usually tend to be far-sighted. We call it "old-sighted" in Japanese. Do you have any English equivalent to this?

I'm afraid they are not diminishing, but getting far-sighted.

I understand that in Japan it is how you relay it; however, it wouldn't make sense in English. Just trying to help out! Sorry if I have offended you.

No, no, I didn't mean that. Maybe it's just a matter of culture difference. Thanks anyway!

No worries! I notice that sometimes phrases don't exist in foreign languages when I'm learning a new language too. I find it very interesting; don't you?

That's one of the reasons I want to learn an Asian language like Korean. With Spanish, many, many words and phrases and even some idioms translate more or less directly to English, and even more words do. I'd love to learn a language separate from my own, but alas, DuoLingo doesn't have an English->Korean course yet. :(

I speak Korean. It's very easy for the Japanese to learn it.
