Kawaii (Japanese: かわいい or 可愛い, IPA: [kawaiꜜi]; 'lovely', 'loveable', 'cute', or 'adorable') is the culture of cuteness in Japan.

In Japanese, the word kawaii has a meaning that sits more or less at the juncture of "cute," "tiny," or "lovable." The cute aesthetic—with its bold, nearly cartoon-like lines and rounded forms—informs a large segment of Japanese popular culture.

What is Kawaii? The words "cute," "tiny," "lovable," and "childlike" are the ones most commonly linked with the Japanese word "kawaii," which are the easiest to understand. In other words, the term kawaii can mean a wide variety of things, including nice, pretty, beautiful, and even seductive.

So I have decided to write this detailed post to explain the exact meaning of the phrase as well as the difference between what “Ara ara” means in real life and what it means in Anime. Ara ara (あら あら) is a Japanese expression that is mainly used by older females and means “My my”, “Oh dear”, or “Oh me, oh my”.

What is the opposite of kawaii desu? ›

Kawaii is the adjective for cute, so the opposite of Kawaii is not cute, which is kawaikunai: kawaikunai – 可愛くない (かわいくない) : the nai form of “kawaii”, meaning 'not cute' or 'not pretty' in Japanese. With Japanese adjectives ending in -i, you make it negative by replace the final -i with -kunai.

It's often used to ask or indicate if something is okay. For example: “ii desu ka” (is it ok?).

Kawaii means “cute” in Japanese, and it is associated with a pop-culture aesthetic of such things as cuddly animals and pink hearts.

The sentence of polite form usually ends at "desu" or "masu". Whether "desu" or "masu" comes at the end depends on the part of speech of the word at the end of the sentence. When the word at the end of the sentence is noun,"desu" is set after the word. When the word is verb, "masu" is set.

“nan desu ka”, broken down, is simply this: 何 (nani), meaning “what” ですか (desu ka), proper participle for phrasing a question. So one can deduce this common phrase means something along the lines of “What?”, or “What is it?”.
