【No. 1309】Ukkari (うっかり - Carelessly)

Ukkari
Several days ago, I ukkari (うっかり) made a mistake.
Ukkari is a Japanese adverb that represents that someone is careless and distracted.
Ukkari was originally called ukari (浮かり), and it seemed to come from the verb uku (浮く), which means to float.
That is to say, it implies a state that one's heart is floating.
I heard that in the past ukkari could represent that someone would be fascinated with a beautiful thing, but now it is mostly used to mean a mistake due to carelessness or distraction.

うっかり
私は先日、「うっかり」ミスをしてしまいました。
「うっかり」とは、ぼんやりして注意が散漫になるさまをあらわす副詞です。
もともとは「浮かり」といい、「浮く」からきたと考えられています。
「心が浮いているような状態」を表しているというわけです。
かつては「美しいものに心を奪われてうっとりするさま」も表していたようですが、現在ではほとんど「ぼんやりして失敗するさま」を表す際に使われます。

We often say "a thing of beauty" instead of "a beautiful thing".
