Japanese word of the week #8 and Chinese word of the week #2

 

It's Wednesday and it means another Japanese word. Today's word is:

いってらっしゃい (hiragana), イッテラッシャイ(katakana), 行ってらっしゃい (kanji + hiragana), Itterasshai (Romanji), it means "come back safe/have a nice day" (English). This is the reply you or someone else gives when someone is leaving your home or a place that you will return to later after saying "ittekimasu" = "I’m leaving". This is the informal way of saying come back safe/have a nice day to the person who is parting. This form is used when talking to you parents or friends but not with teachers or professionals.

 

 

 

Example:

"Itterasshai, brother (insert go to hell if you don't like your brother *optional*)"

When you're counting...it's 二 . but when it comes to saying "i have two _____ / i know two ______ / it's two, etc" it's “兩” (liang). (I'm just going to do mandarin, because i know the official pronunciations lol)
