What does "Doki Doki" mean ? Origin & usage
As a teacher who specializes in teaching anime English, I am certain that anime has already become a great part of our daily life. We all love anime, which is why some Japanese phrases have become a part of English.
The meaning of Doki Doki
Doki Doki (Japanese: ドキドキ) is a Japanese phrase that mimics the sound of beating hearts. It is also the name of a famous Japanese video game: Doki Doki Literature Club! The video game, despite having cute high school girls guiding you through the game, is actually a horror game. If you are one who enjoys cute and horror at the same time, I definitely recommend you to try it once!
Here are some ways you can use it:
My heart went doki-doki after I watched this movie/ played this game... (insert a time when you feel your heart pound)
I have a small mission for you
Smile when you saw this sentence!
My heart went doki-doki seeing your perfect smile! You look hella fine!
Doki Doki is a Japanese phrase. Often used in anime, but it means a heart which is beating fast. Like when something exciting or dangerous is happening. You can feel your heart beating in your chest.
