Not sure if that's spelled properly, but I find myself wondering what all the different meanings are as well as the varying contexts in which this versatile, Japanese word gets used.

Anybody know?

According to Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Server: "凄い 【すごい】 (adj) (uk) terrible; dreadful; terrific; amazing; great; wonderful; to a great extent".

There should be a hierarchy of less likely to map one to one with parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, interjections, and least we forget idoms.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
