Se-no (せーの – One, Two, Three)
Se-no
せーの
In Japan, when several people are lifting something heavy or taking the same action together, they often say ‘se-no!’ (せーの！).
複数人で重いものを持ち上げたり、一斉に同じを動きをする際、日本人はよく「せーの！」と言います。
Similarly, isse-no-se (いっせーのーせ) and isse-no-de (いっせーのーで) are often used (where issei (一斉) means “all together”), and se-no is believed to be short for these calls.
同様に「いっせーのーせ」や「いっせーのーで」もよく使われ（「いっせー（一斉）」は “all together” を意味）、「せーの」はこれら掛け声を省略したものと考えられます。
Other common calls when doing something together include ichi ni no san (いちにのさん – meaning “one, two, and three”).
その他には、「いちにのさん」（直訳: “one, two, and three”）などの掛け声も一般的です。
Also in English, the call “one, two, three” (or “three, two, one”) is a common way to synchronize actions.
英語でも “one, two, three” (or “three, two, one”) は掛け声として一般的です。
Othe English common calls include “ready, set, go” and “here we go.”
英語での掛け声は他にも “ready, set, go” や “here we go” がよく使われるようです。
