Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Ryukyuan *kanasi, from Proto-Japonic *kanasi (“beloved, dear”). Cognate with Old Japanese 悲し (kanasi, “emotionally overwhelming: dear, beloved, sad”) (whence standard Japanese 悲しい (kanashii, “sad, sorrowful”)).
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]
愛さん (kanasan)
Usage notes[edit]
- Although the alternative forms, 悲さん and 哀さん, are etymologically correct and more clearly reveal the term's pronunciation, they should be avoided as they translingually imply a sense of grief, sorrow, and anguish.
