Etymology
The 命令形 (meireikei, “command or imperative form”) of verb 頑張る (ganbaru, “to hold out, to hang on, to persist, to not give up”).
Pronunciation
Verb
- do your best, good luck, hang in there, come on, don't give up, keep going
Usage notes
Used for encouragement or to wish good fortune, it translates more as “do your best/give it your best” than “good luck”; compare French bon courage. In another sense, it connotes that there's always benefit in trying regardless of outcome.
As the imperative form, this might be considered rude if used in speaking directly to a single person, and consequently, this term is more often used when cheering on a team or group. To encourage a single person, the conjunctive form 頑張って (ganbatte) is more common.
