Yamayama (山々 – Mountains)

  • Yamayama

    山々


    Yama” (山) means “mountains,” and the kanji 々 means a repetition of the last character.
    「山」は “mountain,” 漢字「々」は直前の漢字の繰り返しを意味します。

    Therefore, 山々 is read as “yamayama,” and it means “many mountains” or “mountains in various places.”
    そのため、「山々」は “many mountains” や “mountains in various places” を意味します。

    On the other hand, this term is often used as an adverb.
    一方、この言葉は副詞的に使われることも多いです。

    If you say “~ shitai no wa yamayama daga” (~したいのは山々だが), it means that a feeling that you want to do something is high like mountains, but you cannot do it.
    「〜したいのは山々だが」のように使い、何かをしたい気持ちが山のように高いが、実際にはできないということを意味します。
