I have noticed that there is a lot of confusion about the meaning of the Japanese word “daisuki” (大好き). Does it mean “love” or just “like“? In this detailed blog post, I’m going to tell you all you need to know about the Japanese meaning, English translations, and use of the word “daisuki“. Let’s start with a quick answer to what “daisuki” means. The Japanese word “daisuki” (大好き) means “love” or “like very much”. When said to a person it usually expresses romantic feelings towards them and has the same meaning as “I love you” in English.

Today I thought after finishing my lunch that saying “Thank you for the food” in Japanese can actually be a bit confusing. Especially if you have just started to learn Japanese since there are two different phrases. You have probably heard “Itadakimasu” and “Gochisousama deshita” before from anime like Naruto, but which one should you say before eating and which one after the meal? “Itadakimasu” (頂きます) is the phrase Japanese people usually say before eating. It means “Thank you for the food” but literally translates as “I humbly receive this meal”. “Gochisousama deshita” (御馳走様でした) and “Gochisou sama” (御馳走様) also mean “Thank you for the meal/feast” but are said after eating.

A lot of my readers want to know how to say “I love you” in Japanese. However, translating these three little words from English is not that easy, because in Japanese there are 11 words for “love”, and a lot of them can be used to say “I love you“. So which word should you use and what is the best way to express your love to a Japanese person? The three words suki (好き), daisuki (大好き), and aishiteru (愛してる) are basically used to say “I love you” in Japanese. “Suki” is used at the start of relationships and when confessing your love. “Daisuki” is stronger and closest to the English “I love you”, while “Aishiteru” should rarely ever be used.
