Question Someone who is Japanese has said to another that when it comes back it will hit hard``some what of a Karma I think, as to what goes around comes around..
In this reference what word can the innocent person rebuttal with? Is there such word like BATCHIE?? Heard from another source that when a person but a curse or threath of revenge on someone it actually can bounce back at them (the person who cursed)is there a word like this in Japanese? I would really like to know if the word ~BATCHIE~is real and what's the katakane character is and the true meaning, please``but I would also very much appreciate if you could supply me with all/any words that can be used to warn the wicked person off and warning word that it just may hit them instead``Thank you so much for your time, hope to hear from you soon:)
Answer Hi Brandy,
I'm sorry but I've never encountered the word "BATCHIE" in that context. Japanese in general avoid confrontations whenever possible due to the way our social structure and socialization takes place. If one does utter such words to you, all I could tell you to respond with is "Ganbatte" (note in this case the 'n' syllable is pronounced as a 'm'). Gambatte is a rather all encompassing word that works for just about any situation. For someone wishing ill will upon you, it'll be sure to annoy them. I hope this helps! (I think...)
