Your favourite Japanese word/phrase?

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure this kind of thread should belong in here...

This makes me oddly satisfied and extremely relatable on a deep level... as deep as it can get. 

 

I really like "zutto/itsumo" for some reason. Probably the way its said, and just the definition of it (pretty much "always"). I'm a sap.

絶えない愛

 

taenai ai

 

"inextinguishable love"

 

I love the meaning, and I especially love the way it sounds.

気持ち, obviously. I say it a lot with my friends during random conversations. It's a thing in my squad to shout random japanese words sometimes while we are talking just for making fun of weebos. So now, they are calling me "kimochi". Another friend of mine is nicknamed "Watashi". Yeah, we are weirdos.

適当, ギリギリ, and やばい

Right now it is 流石. It just seems very unique yet applicable to many situations. I often find myself wanting to say it.

More stuff I forgot about before

 

マジ !?!?!?   or マジ で  !?!??!

本当に ???? 

勘弁してくれよ...

オイ!

ぶっ殺してやるぞ !!!

 

I learned a lot from playing a bunch of Yakuza games in Japanese, so that's why I love "gangsta" phrases/dialect, lol

Unfortunately I can't roll my R's so I can't actually sound super tough IRL..

I really like "subarashii", "bikkuri shita" and "sugee" (rather than sugoi - I think the "ee" really adds a sort of awestruck feeling to it)

 

Also シュール  ("surreal").

仕方が無い/しょうがない 

 

Shit keeps happening but you can still answer with "It can't be helped" I would love to have that attitude.

Shinrin-Yoku which means forest bathing. Pretty beautiful, it's therapeutic.

 

The medicine of simply being in the forest. Shinrin-yoku is a term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

That, and "yume no naka de" , since the first time that I heard Arashi's Aiba said it, for some reason.

 

And then  "kutabare" and "kuso" -.-" XD
