是非(ぜひ) | absolutely! ★★★★☆ 1/2 KANA 是 (fer shure) + 非 (injustice / mistake) = 是非 (absolutely!) this has 2 meanings: 1) in casual conversation, starting a sentence with 'zehi' means, 'Absolutely!' 'I'll get it done by hook or by crook!' - also, you'll hear 'ぜひおねがいします！' a lot, which means 'Thanks in advance for this favor.' . . . . 2) the propriety or morality of a certain course of action ( the kanji themselves translate to 'right + injustice').
