Yare Yare

A Japanese expression that can be used to express relief or annoyance, often without a strong sense of enthusiasm. The phrase is sometimes modified with the particles "da" and "ze" to create "yare yare daze," (やれやれだぜ) which makes the expression sound masculine and more "rough." The closest English translation would be "good grief."

The phrase is most commonly associated with the protagonist of the manga Stardust Crusaders, Kujo Jotaro, who uses it to express annoyance. A variation of the phrase is also used by his daughter Jolyne in the sequel manga Stone Ocean.

In actual conversation, use of the phrase is infrequent, but it is used ironically to make one's conversation sound artificial.
やれやれやっと着いた (Yare yare, yatto tsuita). (Good grief, here we are at last).
