Sugoku
I noticed this is a word I hear frequently in Japanese.
Yet I haven't found it in JWPce or NJStar or any online dictionary I've used. What does it mean? |
It means "very."
|
Ah, thanks a million! And such quick help too.:)
|
Its just すごい (sugoi) in a different form. I usually see sugoku used more in writing, while sugoi is used more in speech. Sugoi is a bit more casual and used by younger Japanese, whereas sugoku is a bit more formal.

すごい changing to すごく is just like 早い (はやい, quick) changing to 早く(はやく, quickly). By itself, すごい means amazing or brilliant, and by changing the い to a く, it is just like adding "ly" to the end of the word in English to make amazingly, or brilliantly, or more casually, "very", like Harold said.
