Japanese Unique Words

Good evening you guys!

Today I'm going to explain some unique Japanese words such as Otaku, Moe, Tsundere and Burikko.

The first one is the word "Otaku". It means the person who addicts two dimensions like animation and comics. They often go to Akihabara, where a lot of people who wear clothes look-alike the characters in some animations. Sometimes they imitate its costumes and enjoy it so much.

The second one is "Moe". It is the feeling of being fascinated. It is often used by Otaku when they meet the girls wearing characters' costumes and think they are so cute. These days it have come to be used by not only Otaku but also a lot of people when they see lovely things.

The third word is "Tsundere". It means being not obedient and saying the word which is opposed to your feelings. For example, the man who says "I hate you" to the girl he loves is Tsundere.

The last one is "Burikko". It is the girl who fakes modesty, and speak with lovely voice to make men fall into love with her. They sometimes irritate other girls.

These words is born recently and its meaning is changing every day, so it is difficult to explain!
