Sugoi, arigatou, daijoubu or kawaii are some of the expressions that lovers of Japanese culture know perfectly, but today we will emphasize one of the most used, as is sugoi, understanding why it is so famous in the language of those otakus who know much of the language, mostly used for being for obvious reasons, used in all anime, regardless of gender, but to know that we must first understand what the word means and what kind of uses it is given to this.
The technical meaning of Sugoi!
The expression sugoi or すごい written in Japanese, if we look for it in dictionaries of this language, will surprise several and is that at first the first two terms that can be found are those that denote that this expression had, at least in the past, a negative connotation, being “horrible” and “dreadful” the first words that define it, but it is the third result that we all know and that is used more often, being this “extraordinary” or “stupendous“, being in turn a term used by people of any age, whether adults or young people, to a greater extent, based on the latter term when something surprises them and they want to demonstrate this happiness.
Although we must clarify something about the use of sugoi, and is that unlike other terms, such as kawaii, it is not usually used so much, but this is limited to specific situations, something that could show that the word has less strength than others, but actually realizes how important it is, if only used at times when another word can not be used. On the other hand, it is an expression that is usually used in more relaxed and familiar environments, not so much in more formal situations, something that those in the know will know, if we take into account that it is used a lot in anime.
The expression Sugoi! in animes
Most of the public that knows the expression “sugoi!”, is thanks to its use in anime of all kinds, mostly respecting the third meaning that we mentioned above, when trying to show that something is “extraordinary” or that is to their liking, usually when a character exclaims the phrase “sugoi!”, this has a facial expression of happiness, depending on the style of animation even stars are usually added to the character in question in the eyes, backgrounds of bright colors or different additions that can accompany even more that feeling of happiness.
On the other hand, this word also becomes even stronger in specific anime, such is the case of Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! where the protagonist Hana Uzaki wears as one of her most iconic outfits a sweatshirt with the phrase “Sugoi Dekai”, which became very important in the culture of the otaku, especially because that area of the character, the front, is precisely very “loaded”, something that can be understood if we take into account that if we translate the phrase “Sugoi Dekai” we do not find that this means “So big! “This shows once again that the expression sugoi helps to emphasize that something is very good or has characteristics of this type.
