Suri

Today is the last day of my stay in Italy, and I will visit Venice.

In sightseeing areas where there are many people such as Venice, you have to be careful about 'suri' (スリ).

'Suri' means an act of stealing money or goods from someone's bag or pocket without being seen, or a person who does that.

There are several theories about its etymology, but one theory explains that it comes from the fact that 'karada wo kosuri tsukeru' (体を擦り付ける - literally means "to rub one's body (against other's body)" while stealing.

Incidentally, according to the Internet, suris (pickpockets) in Venice pretend to tourists, so you need to pay close attention.
スリ

今日はイタリア滞在の最終日で、ヴェネツィアを訪れる予定です。

ヴェネツィアのように人の多い観光地では、「スリ」に気をつけなければなりません。

「スリ」とは、他人の鞄や懐から金品などを気付かれないように盗み取る行為や、そのような行為を行う人を意味する言葉です。

語源は諸説ありますが、ある説は「盗む際に体をこすりつけることから」と説明しています。

ちなみに、インターネットによるとヴェネツィアのスリは観光客や親子連れを装っているらしいので、細心の注意を払う必要があります。

     In 2016, various major American newspapers officially announced that that they would start writing the word "internet" with a lowercase "i".
