Then I googled into the topic a bit and learned that it means even more than I thought at first.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, we&rsquo;re going to tackle <i>nine<\/i> different ways you can use the simple utterance &ldquo;sa&rdquo; in <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/study-japanese\/\" title=\"Japanese\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Japanese<\/a>. But, let&rsquo;s start with the most obvious one first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What does saa (&#12373;&#12354;) mean in Japanese?<\/h2>\n<p><b>In general, saa is used as a particle to express an assertion, and is typically used by males. When used in this way it doesn&rsquo;t have an explicit meaning, but rather functions as a sort of filler word.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Saa: the particle<\/h2>\n<p><i>Saa<\/i> is an interesting particle in Japanese, since it doesn&rsquo;t really have any explicit meaning.<\/p>\n<p>It often gets called a &ldquo;filler word,&rdquo; but if I&rsquo;m being totally honest I think this is an unfair way to look at this admitedly simple expression.<\/p>\n<p>To me, a filler word is &ldquo;um&rdquo; or &ldquo;uh,&rdquo; which in Japanese are usually translated as <i>ano<\/i> and <i>eto<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Those are &ldquo;true&rdquo; filler words, simply creating space for the person to think of their next word, or, at most, to indicate that a thought is coming.<\/p>\n<p><i>Saa<\/i>, however, provides what I would consider meaning, and might even call a sort of &ldquo;meta meaning.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While the word isn&rsquo;t used only by men, it certainly can impart a masculine air to what&rsquo;s being said.<\/p>\n<p>Since it expresses assertiveness, it adds a plethora of contextual cues and clues, letting the listener know that the speaker is serious, or about to give a command, or is going to invite someone to do something, or is providing no other options.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it&rsquo;s considered casual, and so it enforces a particular mood when it&rsquo;s spoken. It&rsquo;s certainly not rude, however, so feel free to use it with friends<\/p>\n<p>That said, it <i>can<\/i> be used as filler, almost as &ldquo;hmm&rdquo; in Japanese. In this way it often breaks up sentences.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll only get so far describing the word, though. Let&rsquo;s examine a handful of sentences to really get a feel for things.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>&#12373;&#12354;&#26469;&#12356;&#65281;<\/strong><br>\nSaa koi!<br>\nCome on!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>&#12373;&#12354;&#12289;&#22987;&#12376;&#12417;&#12424;&#12358;&#65281;<\/strong><br>\nS&#257;, hajimey&#333;!<br>\nAlright, let&rsquo;s get started!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>&#31169;&#12399;&#12356;&#12367;&#12388;&#12384;&#12392;&#24605;&#12358;&#65311;&#12373;&#12354;&#24403;&#12390;&#12390;&#12415;&#12390;&#12290;<\/strong><br>\nWatashi wa ikutsu da to omou?

However, that is in fact the <i>kunyomi<\/i>, aka the native Japanese pronunciation of the word.<\/p>\n<p>The concept for &ldquo;left&rdquo; and the attendant kanji, &#24038;, also carries an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/japanese-alphabets\/\"><i>onyomi<\/i><\/a><\/strong>, a &ldquo;Chinese&rdquo; pronunciation. Can you guess what that is? That&rsquo;s right: it&rsquo;s <i>sa<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll usually hear this when it&rsquo;s part of a word including other kanji.
