【No. 0253】The Meaning of "結構(kekko)"
Aug 28, 2015 11:14
Today, I'd like to introduce a Japanese confusing term '結構(kekko).'
Kekko has four big meanings:
1 : "結構面白いですね（Kekko omoshiroi desune : It's more interesting than expected.）"
Here, the meaning of kekko is something like "more ~ than expected" or enough or 'pretty.'
I think this kekko is most commonly used in Japan.
2 : "お支払いは結構です（Oshiharai wa kekko desu : The payment is not needed.）"
Here, the meaning of kekko is "no need" or "not required."
3 : "お支払いは後日で結構です（Oshiharai wa gojitsu de kekko desu : The payment is fine at a later date.）"
Here, the meaning of kekko is "no problem" or 'satisfied.'
You can translate "結構です" as "構いません（don't care）" or "大丈夫です（okay）."
4 : "結構なお点前ですね（Kekko na otemae desune : It's a worthy place.）"
Here, the meaning of kekko is worthy or fantalicious or 'perfect.'
While writing this, I was also a little confused, haha.

Here, the meaning of 'kekko' is 'worthy', 'fantalicious' or 'perfect.'
I don't think fantalicious is a real English word however. I'd never seen it before this post and I can't find it in the dictionary xD
I'm not sure what meaning was intended.

Thank you so much for correcting my post! :D
Ah, sorry. I might have used a kind of slang. My dictionary said something like that 'fantalicious' is composed of 'fantastic' and 'delicious,' and this term means '素晴らしい（fantastic）' or '優れている（excellent）.'

Yes. Unfortunately, meanings of many Japanese terms vary depending on the context. I think it's confusing, but sometimes useful.
