JA

A casual Japanese phrase meaning 'I'm feeling a little tired/unwell' or 'It's a bit tough right now'

I'm feeling a little tired/unwell, so I'll take the day off work today.

Etymology

"Shindoi" is a colloquial Japanese adjective originating from the verb "shinu" (to die), originally meaning "near death" before evolving to mean "tired" or "difficult" in casual speech.

Memory Aid

Break it down: "chotto" = a little, "shindoi" = tired/tough - remember "shin" sounds close to "shaken" from being tired.
