Hey guys, it's Cathy cat.
Today we're going to ask foreigners in Japan about Wasei Eigo words
Which means, they are words that Japanese people think are English
but they're actually not English.
So, wait...
Put the dog head out of the screen I'm trying to do the opening.
So, on that note.
We're gonna go and ask foreigners in Japan if they can decipher that word.
Same thing goes for you, though!
Please take part in the quiz and write down what you think that word actually means.
And!

Oh, you know. Don't forget to wear your G-Pan before you go out.
