''Paiting!'' (, ) or ''Hwaiting!'' (, ) is a Korean word of support or encouragement. It is frequently used in sports or whenever a challenge such as a difficult test or unpleasant assignment is met. It derives from a Konglish misuse of the English word "Fighting!"〔〔 __NOTOC__ In English, "fighting" is an adjective (specifically, a present participle) whereas cheers and exclamations of support usually take the form of imperative verbs. ''Paiting!''’s Japanese equivalent, for example, is the more proper ''Faito!'' (). For that reason, ''paiting!'' is often translated in English as "Come on!" or "Let's go!" ''Daehan Mingug Paiting!'' () might be glossed as "Go, Korea!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=파이팅 )〕 English does sometimes use adjectives and nouns as words of support ("Good!" "Good job!") but the original meaning of fighting simply implies some conflict exists; it doesn't imply either side will be victorious and offers no support. Within Korean, ''paiting!'' serves as an encouragement to release one's inhibitions and draw on inner power. ''Paiting!'' is often accompanied by the expression ''Aja aja!'' (), which has a similar meaning. The pronunciation ''Hwaiting'', despite often being used colloquially, is not included in important Korean dictionaries such as ''The Standard Dictionary of the Korean Language'' (). ==Related terms== In addition to ''Faito!'', terms used similarly in East Asia are the Japanese ''Ganbatte!'' () and Mandarin ''Jiayou!'' (, "add oil!"). The growing importance of Korean pop culture means that "Fighting!" is now sometimes used in Engrish and Chinglish as well to translate these native phrases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paiting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
