Jun 28, 2023 19:23
Fungiri
A drastic decision is called fungiri (踏ん切り) in Japanese.
Fun/fumi (踏ん/踏み) means "to step," and giri/kiri (切り) means "to take a drastic action."
That is to say, fungiri implies that someone makes a drastic decision using a reaction of stepping hard on the ground.
You can say something like fungiri ga tsuku (踏ん切りがつく - meaning "to make up one's mind") with tsuku (つく - meaning "to be in a certain state").
Note that fun (踏ん) in fungiri has the same sound as fun (糞/ふん - meaning "poop"), but its meaning is quite different.
