гЃ¤ is an abbreviation of the kaomoji like the one above, wherein a face is shown giving something to someone via the use of гЃ¤ to represent a hand. IвЂ™m going to give you an explanation of гЃ¤, okay? Importantly, the post also shows that е®Ње…Ёе‹ќе€©S can be used as a noun describing a state of being, rather than just an exclamation of success, as the tweet notes if there was one small change to the collection it would have been (вЂњгЃ гЃЈгЃџг‚“гЃ гЃ‘гЃ©вЂќ) е®Ње…Ёе‹ќе€©S. A really interesting example can be seen below, as the writer describes their collection as вЂње‹ќе€©AгЃЁиЁЂгЃЈгЃџгЃЁгЃ“г‚ЌвЂќ. If you donвЂ™t quite have everything, then you instead describe your situation as е‹ќе€©A, B, or, heaven forbid, C. In the below tweet, the gif is listed as the вЂњcomplete victory bankвЂќ, or (I assume) the repeated poses characters make when they defeat an enemy. Oddly enough, the first example of this term in use I found also referenced the show PreCure. If the show suddenly flashes to a character transforming into their superhero identity against a nondescript background, or moving in a set pattern while screaming the name of their special ability, thatвЂ™s гѓђгѓіг‚Ї. Key examples would be transformation shots (think Sailor Moon), or set animations for characters powering up their signature moves. The phrase refers to a вЂњbankвЂќ (=database) of shots which are regularly drawn upon in a show from episode to episode. This time, the phrase comes from гѓђгѓіг‚Їг‚·г‚№гѓ†гѓ (вЂbank systemвЂ™), which was coined вЂ“ or at least used heavily by вЂ“ Osamu Tezuka when making the Astro Boy show. That said, I should note that on the internet the use of г‚ўгѓђгѓі to refer to вЂњthe beginning part of a movie/showвЂќ is far less common than uses to refer to the character Avan from Dragon Quest, so do be careful before translating.

If someone is зґ г‚Їгѓјгѓ«, they are therefore calm and collected, straightforward, and not embarrassed about discussing romance. These terms were chosen due to being viewed as respective antonyms of гѓ„гѓігѓ„гѓі and гѓ‡гѓ¬гѓ‡гѓ¬. Just like how гѓ„гѓігѓ‡гѓ¬ was made by combining two terms (гѓ„гѓігѓ„гѓі вЂњturn away angrilyвЂќ and гѓ‡гѓ¬гѓ‡гѓ¬ вЂњlovestruck/fawningвЂќ), зґ г‚Їгѓјгѓ« was created on 2chan as a mash up of зґ з›ґ ( sunao, вЂobedientвЂ™) and г‚Їгѓјгѓ« (вЂcoolвЂ™). You might not even need any Japanese familiarity in fact, as tsundere has been adopted into English to the extent that it has its own English Wikipedia page. If you are familiar with Japanese slang terms, you probably know the term гѓ„гѓігѓ‡гѓ¬. All I know is that, for this person, watching them dance would be absolutely mindblowing. Again, my apologies for the vague explanation, but I once more have no idea who any of these people are. The post below uses it to express the pleasure of just imagining the three men shown in the tweetвЂ™s attached photograph dancing. That said, the generic йЈ›гЃ¶гЃћ can also be detached from the гЃ¦гЃїгЃЄ form. The bassist below, for instance, uses гѓ™гѓјг‚№гЃЊгѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„ as the title of a вЂе‹џй›†ж›ІвЂ™ riff collection. In many ways then, гѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„ is synonymous with дёЉж‰‹, and is often used in the same вЂњгЃЇгЃЊгѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„вЂќ grammar construction. In other words, both гѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„ and its origin phrase refer to the broader meaning of вЂperforming well at a taskвЂ™ rather than the вЂtechnique=way of doing thingsвЂ™ meaning. гѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„ specifically comes from гѓ†г‚Їгѓ‹гѓѓг‚Ї (вЂtechniqueвЂ™) as used in phrases like вЂгѓ†г‚Їгѓ‹гѓѓг‚ЇгЃЊгЃ‚г‚‹вЂ™. гѓ†г‚ЇгЃ„ follows the pattern of words like гѓЃгѓ«гЃ„ in that it takes a word from English and transforms it into an гЃ„ adjective, departing from the older tradition of using borrowings вЂas-isвЂ™ as гЃЄ adjectives. In these cases, especially for art, I will link directly to the tweet. The exception is when the source is famous/a public figure, trying to promote something, or sharing art. Names of the people who wrote the examples are censored in most cases, as they would be in a research article. Examples of use in context are all taken from public posts on Twitter. Going forward, IвЂ™ll present definitions of each term, show examples of use in context, and investigate the termвЂ™s usage rules and origins. гѓђгѓіг‚Ї: A scene in a show that is reused across episodes.г‚ўгѓђгѓі: The opening scenes of an anime episode.гѓ–гѓігѓ‰гѓ‰: The sound/action of fighting plastic figures.зґ г‚Їгѓјгѓ«: Opposite of tsundere, cool and straightforward.йЈ›гЃ¶гЃћ: Delicious, or more generally mindblowingly good.As always, these are вЂњnew to meвЂќ rather than something I am able to trace the exact origin or date ofвЂ¦ but many are actually new!

Sources and definitions for slang terms will come from a variety of places, but as always I draw heavily from the website numan.tokyo.
