Aunt - Daisuki

But to be honest, I cant imagine that conversation happening in a Japanese setting too much. Usually we don’t express our feelings verbally. Maybe to a young child, but not when you get to a certain age.. maybe up until the child is 9 to 10 ish…?

Would love to hear other people’s opinion on this one though 

Heya thank.

Yeah i can image that would not be daily thing, and won't be used much after certain ages. I means , jokingly put it, universally every parent is more or less tsundere toward their children...

The only thing I got here was: Well, the teasing was worth it (or something).

Probably should be in Japanese language thread, but I want to know about this too. I thought it's just an alternative of 'kana'?

Edit:
Actually a question as well. Is the obon festival and the word bonfire in English have the same origin? Did the term obon exist much earlier than Western arrival to Japan?
