Japan — Phrase #10
🤝#10 Friendly Fire
このやろう (Kono yarō)
kono jaɾoː
Literal: You bastard/this guy
Feels like: "This bastard" said with warmth and a grin = "you son of a gun, you did it." Said coldly = genuine hostility. Requires unmistakable warmth in delivery; without it, these words sting more in Japanese than equivalent English
