Question of the Week - Which Word Would You Import?
How about "yoroshiku" (yo-RO-sh(i)-koo)? (The "RO" is slightly trilled.) In Japan, it is very often used and its meaning is roughly "please treat me well" or "please take care of me/something now and into the future". So, when someone asks another person to do something, the asker would say "yoroshiku" after the asking. Also, upon meeting someone for the first time, one would say "yoroshiku" to indicate that you want that person to think well of you in the future.
