This is a word I learned recently, and it surprises me that I would only learn it by now, since it's used a LOT in the Japanese language.
'Meccha' is short for 'mechakucha', and it means 'extremely', so when you add it to an expression, basically what you do is that you emphasize what you're trying to say, or more like, you exaggerate it.
Some equivalent translations can be: super, absurdly, extremely, mega, ridiculously, very, amazingly
Some examples on how to use this word:
めっちゃ寒い！- Meccha samui! - It's extremely cold!
めっちゃあつい - Meccha atsui - It's ridiculously hot!
めちゃくちゃかわいい - Mechakucha kawaii - Super cute!
めちゃくちゃ小さい - Mechakucha chiisai - Extremely small
I hope you learned something with me today! This word is used all the time, and you can add it to enlarge pretty much anything you want to describe.
Today I can say it's meccha atsui over here! The heat is on where I live, and it's not even summer yet!
How will you use this word today? Make sure you practice!
Until next time!
