How it's used

Casual, emphatic expression used when psyching oneself up or celebrating a small victory; common in speech, manga, and anime, not in formal writing.

よっしゃあ!できたぞ!
Yosshaa! Dekita zo!
Alrighty! I did it!

よっしゃあ、これで勝てる。
Yosshaa, kore de kateru.
Got it, with this we can win.

⚖️ Often confused with 'よし' (yoshi), which is calmer and more neutral; 'よっしゃあ' adds excitement and determination.

❓ About this entry

What does the reading (pron) field mean? ▼
The reading shows the pronunciation in hiragana or katakana as recorded by UniDic. For kanji entries this is the standard reading of this specific surface form — which may differ from other readings of the same kanji.
What is UniDic? ▼
UniDic is a comprehensive Japanese lexicon developed by the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL). It provides detailed morphological information for modern Japanese words, used in NLP tools like MeCab.
