Munasawagi (胸騒ぎ - Bad Feeling)
Feb 5, 2018 20:54
Have you ever felt that something bad would happen?
Such a state is called 胸騒ぎ (munasawagi) in Japanese.
胸 (mune) means "chest" and 騒ぎ (sawagi) means "romp," so the literal meaning of 胸騒ぎ is "one's chest romps."
The etymology is very simple -- if you have a bad feeling about something, you will feel tension and your heart beat faster as if the chest would romp.
These days, you can also say 胸騒ぎ when you're expecting good things and being excited.
Incidentally, this term is usually used like 胸騒ぎがする (munasawagi ga suru - I feel 'munasawagi'),.

Is this similar to "doki doki suru"? Munasawagi, huh? I think I understand. Thank you very much, I've learned something new today!

Thank you so much for the corrections!
> Is this similar to "doki doki suru"?
Yes, both have the similar meaning :)
I think that "doki doki suru" implies a good sense, whereas "munasawagi" implies a bad sense.

just a suggestion, maybe it is too strong?
Toru
Thank you so much for the suggestion!
Hmm, as you said, maybe it's a little too strong. I think that "munasawagi" can be translated as "vague foreboding," "funny feeling," or "presentiment."
