According to the communicator, the error lies in the interpretation of a kanji (Chinese character): “In this context, it means that Japan fought against the South American opposition. ‘苦手’ doesn’t mean ‘poor’, it means ‘poor in’.” “or ‘not very good at it’, so you would use that to describe things like food you don’t like or subjects you have trouble with at school “, he added.
