【No. 1013】Wagamama (わがまま - Selfish Character)

Sep 26, 2017 21:14
I don't like a person who has a personality called "wagamama" (わがまま) very much.

"Wagamama" means that someone is selfish or acts spoiled.

Where the "waga" (わが) means "myself," and the "mama" (まま) means "as someone pleases."

Therefore, the literal meaning of "wagamama" is that you act just as you please without thinking other people -- that is, it implies a selfish character.

Incidentally, the character "mama" (ママ) can means just "mama" in English.

Because of this, you can make a pun something like "waga mama wa wagamama da" (わがママはわがままだ), which means "Me mother has a selfish character."
(This is my original pun.)
わがまま

私は「わがまま」な性格の人が少し苦手です。

「わがまま」とは、自分自身の都合だけを考えて行動するさまを表す言葉です。

ここで、「わが」は「自分の」、「まま」は「思い通り」を意味します。

つまり「わがまま」とは文字どおり、他人のことを考えず自分の思い通りになるようにする、身勝手な性格という意味です。

ちなみに、「まま」という文字は「お母さん」を意味することもできます。

このことから、「我がママはわがままです」のようなダジャレを作ることができます。
(私のオリジナルのダジャレです。)

This is very interesting.

There is a chain of restaurants called Wagamama in the UK.

Very good work.

Thank you so much for correcting my post!
I didn't know the restaurants called Wagamama. On the website, I could find a lot of Japanese terms. It was very interesting, thank you for letting me know that :)

You're welcome. The food in Wagamama restaurants isn't as good as in Japan, of course.
