Скачать или смотреть Introducing a newer Japanese onomatopoeia added in the 21st century 😂

Onomatopeias are crucial to the Japanese language because we feel the need to name every subtly unique sensation we come across in life.

To describe softness, we have a wide selection of onomatopeias, like:

ふわふわ - Fluffy
ふかふか - Cushy
ふさふさ - Bushy
ぷにぷに - Squishy
ぶよぶよ - Flabby

And there are new ones emerging rapidly in modernday Japan whenever no existing onomatopeias does justice to a sensation.

So let me share a new addition of the 21st century.
Imagine a group of Japanese high school girls running into a corgi. I don’t have a corgi so let’s do it with this Alpaca.

わーかわいい！ふわふわー！
Waa kawaii! Fuwafuwa-!
It’s so cute and fluffy!

And then one girl was like, “No. ふわふわ is an understatement. This… this cute-aggression-inducing softness and warmth can only be expressed with…もふもふ！！！

And then the other girls were like, “That’s it. This is もふもふ🥹!!”
And now it’s used nationwide.

So I would translate もふもふ as UNACCEPTABLY FLUFF!!!

By the way, here’s the link to the Capybara-san Plush Toy on Amazon, just in case 😂:

The alpaca plushy is the mascot character of a Japanese chemicals manufacturer called Kuraray and is only available for sale at their office building 😂.
