The thin line between "Cute" and "Terrifying" in Japanese... 💀

One wrong vowel can change the entire vibe of your conversation:

✨ Kawaii (かわいい) = Cute

😱 Kowai (こわい) = Scary

Be extra mindful of this when trying to compliment someone! 

A slip of the tongue could turn a sweet reply into a horror story, and your "cute target" might just run away ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Do you have any 'oops!' moment like this ? ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
