Favorite Japanese Word
 
Ok, here's my question:
Wha is your favorite and/or most useful word in Japanese?

I like the words that they made up to represent sounds, like "peko peko", "sososo", etc. XD XD XD Those are some of the greatest things I've ever heard XD XD XD

Honto(really) is one of my favorite Japanese words.

Or hontou if you want the full spelling :cool:
(Although people do say honto, just wanted to point it out while I'm here :))

For me, recently I have been quite interested in 四字熟語(yojijukugo)
Because they make great kanji practice and are just generally useful.
My favourites I can think of now are:
十人十色(jyuunintoiro)
一石二鳥(issekinishou)
一生懸命(isshoukenmei)
:cool:

Right off the top of my head, I'd probably agree with Lizzey.

I thought of another:
昼夜逆転 ( chuuyagyakuten ) - One's days and nights being reversed

Ah I like too many words :rolleyes:
