kawai


“kawai” in actuality, is not a j-panese word at all. it is usually a misspelling of one of the following:
1. “kawaii” which means “cute” in j-panese;
2. “kowai” which means “scary” in j-panese;
3. “i’m a crazy fangirl who does not care look into the actual j-panese language.”

sou da ne?
crzfnngrrl27: kawai desu ne?
nhongod3kiru: sore wa dou yuu imi desu ka?
crzfnngrrl27: ? :p
crzfnngrrl27: i dont actually know j-panese.
nhongod3kiru: i can tell.
in hawaiian, ka means the and wai means water. so kawai literally means the water. if you break it down even further, wai means any liquid other than ocean water. so technically kawai could mean a lot more.

the hawaiian name kawai was sort of made famous from a hawaiian singer kawai c-ckett.

kawai is also the name of a famous piano company.
eh brah, dat kawai guy pretty haole for one hawaiian.
this is the j-panese word for “cute.” it on the ever growing list of annoying j-panese words that many people use in attempts to make themselves seem more knowledgable about anime and/or j-panese culture.
