Nov 24, 2017 17:19
There is a Japanese term: "melo melo" (めろめろ/メロメロ).
Can you guess what this term means?
"Melo melo" means that someone has a loose face or attitude by being madly in love.
For example, you can say "melo melo da" (メロメロだ - I'm melo melo) to your lover or grand children.
The most accepted theory about the etymology of "melo melo" is that it comes from "mela mela" (めらめら), which is an onomatopoeia that represents spreading fire.
Incidentally, there is "melo melo" as a Pokemon's move, and this is translated into English as "Attract."

めろめろ
日本語には「めろめろ」という言葉があります。
どんな意味か想像できますか？
「めろめろ」は、愛情に酔って理性を失い、表情や態度がだらしなくなるさまを表す言葉です。
例えば、異性や孫に対して「めろめろだ」のように使われます。
「めろめろ」の語源として有力な説は、炎が燃え広がるさまを表す「めらめら」という擬態語が変化したというものです。
ちなみにポケモンの技で「メロメロ」がありますが、英語版では "Attract" となっています。

Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
Yes, I also think Jigglypuff (and many other cute Pokémon) can use this move :)
