amai
Flemish exclamation, meaning something like "oh gosh !" or "I say !". That's not the intention of Bill's first mention of this term, I think. #:-7 Dieter Bob McGuigan: Amai is a Japanese word which, depending on context, could mean sweet, lenient, dull, soft, mild, easy-going. In go it is used to imply a lack of severity, strength, or solidity. For example, pros use amai in describing a play of a single 4-4 point stone intended as a territorial move in the corner. kokiri: I've seen it (at a more modest level) used to describe things for moves in the early endgame that aren't as strong as they might be:'ji ni amai'. This is a copy of the living page "amai" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
