Okarada wo Oitoi Kudasai
In yesterday's post, I introduced the phrase 'gojiai kudasai' (ご自愛ください), which means "please take care of yourself."
To mean the same thing, you can also use another phrase, 'okarada wo oitoi kudasai' (お身体をおいといください).
Since 'o' (お) is a polite prefix, 'karada' (身体) means "body," 'itoi/itou' (いとい/いとう) means "to cherish," and 'kudasai' (ください) means "please," 'okarada wo oitoi kudasai' literally means "please cherish your body."
This phrase is a little quaint and is used less frequently these days, but it has an elegant, tender, and gentle impressions.
If you use this at the end of your letters or e-mails, you can make a special impression on the recipient.

「お」は丁寧の接頭辞、「身体」は "body"、「いとう」は「大事にする/大切にする」、「ください」は "please" を意味するので、「お身体をおいといください」は文字どおり "please cherish your body" という意味になります。
この表現は少し古く、使われる頻度は低いですが、上品でやわらかく、優しい響きを持っています。
