【No. 1456】Makahushigi (摩訶不思議 - Mysterious)

Makahushigi
There are many makahushigi (摩訶不思議) in the world.
"Makahushigi" means that something is very mysterious or wonder.
Since hushigi (不思議) means "wonder" or "mysterious," you can easily guess that maka (摩訶) is a word to enogasuse the hushigi.
In fact, maka comes from the Sanskrit term "maha", which means "great," "very," "amazing."
For example, you can use this term like Maka hushigi na dekigoto ga okita (摩訶不思議な出来事が起きた - A very mysterious event happened).
Incidentally, it is said that makahushigi is originally used to mean "wonderfulness that is beyond human understanding."

Are you learning US English? For UK and Australian English, you would write: ... the Sanskrit term "maha", which means "great", "very", and/or "amazing". (Punctuation goes outside quotation marks unless it is part of the quote).

Thank you so much for the correction!
Yes, I have learned the US English. A lang-8 user taught me that in the US, punctuation (almost) always goes inside quotation.
