yatte
Did you know?
- While やって is a request to 'do' something, in many Japanese subcultures, the single word やる is used as a euphemism for the act of sex itself.
- In many contexts, the verb root of やって is used to describe the act of 'giving' something to a subordinate, a pet, or a plant. Using it to mean 'to give' is grammatically correct but carries a social weight that implies the receiver is of lower status than the speaker.
- In certain adult contexts, using the polite form of やる can actually sound more provocative or sinister than the blunt, casual version.
