Kawaii

A word that is commonly mistaken to literally mean 'cute'. Sorry to say this, but it ACTUALLY literally means 'good face'.

Use it in conversation and the other person will likely feel like clawing their face off.
(Also it's actually pronounced 'Kawa-ee', not 'kawa-I')

PersonA: OMG THAT DRESS IS SOOO KAWAII!!
PersonB: ...It has a good face? WHAT.
PersonA: NO IT MEANS CUTE GET IT??
PersonB: *stares and leaves*

Kawaii

A really cute girl who is Asian even if not Japanese but can pull off being a cute Japanese girl any day of her life. Basically someone so darn cute that you need to have another word to describe it.

Daniela Ocampo and/or Himeka Hamasaki is, as shown above, the definition of Kawaii

kawaii

Means "cute" or "pretty" in Japanese. Grossly overused by fat wapanese dorks in their futile attempts to woo their school's female Japanese exchange student(s).

Reality Check: Native Japanese don't use the word "kawaii" as much as you dorks do. Shut it down.
