What’s the difference between Sugoi and Suge?
It’s casual to be like Sugoi instead of Suge. When speaking with friends, young people use the term “suge.” It has four forms (ai, ii, ui and oi). Sugoi=すごい.
Tokyo is renowned for changing the ending of adjectives ending in “I” (sugoi, urusai, yabai, nagai etc) to “ee” which is more common in the informal setting. There have never been females who used this latter phrase, although some teenage girls might adopt it among friends. It is also a common pronunciation in Japanese anime for young people, but I have never heard it for females, or for men in situations where this is the norm.So it’s slang for Tokyo and it’s spread throughout the country.
What should I say/ reply if someone told me that I’m すごい?
In response to my Japanese speaking ability, how do I respond to “sugoi In response to “****”, should I simply thank you?
You can simply tell them “Thank you” if you wish. The truth is that many Japanese are shy and don’t like to be thanked ( but personally I find this a bad habit of ours… As a result, it’s perfectly natural to say “thank you”. すごい stands for terrific or great, so I guess one of the things you did has blown them away, like speaking Japanese.
Conclusion
The word sugi, which originally meant hideous or horrible, now means “awesome” or “great”. It is most commonly used in casual settings, so remember that. The word ‘suroi’ in Japanese means ‘I’m impressed.’ When two businessmen negotiate a business deal it is uncommon to see them do so. In any case, you will be able to use this expression freely when talking to your Japanese friends no matter where you are. As well as being used as an adjective, it can also describe nouns. It can also be used as an adverb alongside one or more other adjectives or verbs, as when you say “crazy” or “insane”. If you read this blog to the end, you should have become much more proficient in Japanese.
