Kyūshi ni Isshō wo Eru
Have you ever survived a critical situation where the chances of survival were meager?
In such a situation, you can use the Japanese phrase 'kyūshi ni isshō wo eru' (九死に一生を得る).
Since 'kyū' (九) means "nine," 'shi' (死) means "death," 'isshō' (一) means "one," 'shō' (生) means "life," and 'eru' (得る) means "to get," the literal meaning of this phrase is "to get one life out of nine deaths."
In other words, if the same situation were to occur ten times, you would be dead nine times and survive only once. It is miraculous that you survived this time.
