Shō Ga Nai

Shō Ga Nai (Show ga neye) are the Japanese words for "Can't be helped." In other countries, esp. the U.S, people tend to get selfish and put themselves before others. In Japanese culture, they don't feel sorry for themselves as much. I'm not saying they're emotionless robots, or that they wouldn't cry at the death of a loved one, but really, they tend to be respectful and not get angry or sad as much. When something bad happens to them, they mostly just say, "Sho ga nai." and get on with their lives rather than throw a fit about it like a two-year-old. Anyway, it's like they're saying, "Sucks for me, but I can't alter this situation, so I'll just take it or leave it."

I learned this on YouTube, and it inspired me... Well, bye. Or, as they say in Japan, "konichiwa."
How am I to give an example? I'm a fourteen-year-old who barely knows "hello" and "goodbye" in Japanese. I ain't givin' ya no dialogue, b*tch! For some (Hoover) Dam reason, I have to include Shō ga nai in this, so there you go, Erbin Dikshinarie.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
