Recently, I thought about these small Japanese phrases I've seen.
1.) このポスターはイメジです。
2.) このドラマはフィクションです。
3.) リアルタイムで運行状況を知らせる。
Aren't they strange? Do they make sense? Why?
Look at 1, a poster is an image by definition. Why is it necessary to write that the poster is an image?
How about 2, again, any drama is fiction (actually, "drama" is a Greek word that means a play where someone dies at the end...) so of course a TV drama is fiction (it wouldn't be fiction if the actors in a TV drama actually died!)
But, 3 is the most mysterious. By using the 外来語 word リアルタイム, it makes me wonder whose "Real Time" does it mean? Is it my "Real Time," as in the time I am at when it is telling me transportation information? Or is it the transportation company's vision (or image) of what they think the transportation situation is?
Do you feel that meaning is lost or somehow twisted when you read these?
