Valentine’s Day Hey guys, now that it’s February Valentine’s Day is slowly approaching so I thought I would make a post about this holiday and the kinds of vocab and expressions you might use around this time. Do you guys have any plans? I’m trying to plan a surprise event for my boyfriend! Vocab: Valentine’s Day・バレンタインデー Date・デート Boyfriend・彼氏・かれし Girlfriend・彼女・かのじょ Like・好き Love・大好き（or 愛・あい）* Confess・告白する・こくはくする (こくる= slang) Flirt・イチャイチャ Hug・抱く・だく Kiss・キッス Present・プレセント Chocolate・チョコレート（or チョコ）

Valentine’s Chocolate・バレンタインチョコ

Obligatory Chocolate・義理チョコ・ぎりチョコ

True love Chocolate・本命チョコ・ほんめいチョコ

On Valentine’s Day in Japan, girls give 義理チョコ [giri choco] to boys they often associate with, such as club members, co-workers, or friends. In Japanese “義理” means duty or obligation. However, they give 本命チョコ [honmei choco] to boys who they have serious feelings for and are confessing to! It’s important to know the difference between the two if you plan on handing out chocolate in Japan. Expressions: 大好きです。 / あなたが大好き！ I love you. 好きです。/ あなたが好き！ I like you. 私と付き合って下さい。 Please go out with me! 彼に告白した。 I confessed to him. イチャイチャしないでよ。 Stop flirting with me. 好きじゃない！ I don’t like you! *Side note: 愛「愛してる」is commonly seen online and means “love” in Japanese, but actually Japanese couples don’t use this word to express their love for each other because it’s too formal, even between couples it feels weird to say. 大好き is the most commonly used expression of love in Japan.

"You may

blame Aphrodite

soft as she is

she has almost

killed me with

love for that boy."

—Blame Aphrodite, Sappho

la déplor d'aphrodite

A ballerina laced with daydream. Femme fatale with serpent’s eyes, selling kisses as coup de grâce. She marbles their hearts.

Fallen angels that instead of roses are holding expensive cigarettes. Poison herself; poison they crave.

They told her she was art; heartbreaking, breathtaking. Like a butterfly trapped within a hazy addiction, shining like shimmer.

Pearls painted from her tears. To love is to make sacrifice. Another night, another bottle of rosé.

A little death, When petals of her lips dance around your neck. A little faith, jasmine’s purity mixed with rain.

She’s like perfume that stayed in your mind, letting your curiosity go too far; despite that all lovers lost their way.
