Your Favourite Word - #JapaneseTopicTuesday
Konnichiwa,
What's your favourite Japanese word or saying?
Mine is 儚い - hakanai.
Hakanai means evanescent, fleeting, ephemeral.
It suggests the passing nature of moments, beauty and life.
The delicate cherry blossoms blooming and shortly falling are hakanai.
The crimson sky and the setting sun moments before night falls are hakanai.
Each day spent with loved ones are hakanai.
We must appreciate the beauty of these experiences that will come and go and cherish them all the more for it.
The special things in life are hakanai and that's why it is my favourite Japanese word.
What is your favourite Japanese word or saying?
Arigatou,
Joe Sensei.
