日本語) 🇯🇵When using the Google Translate function on Japanese trading posts, you may see google spit out this word “widab” - it’s a mashup of the Japanese words for Wishlist & Double (what we refer to as duplicates), and basically means the user wants to exchange their duplicates for items on their wishlist.
In Japanese, the kanji for “tree” and “wood” are the same. In the context of Livly Island, the user is likely referring to trees and the auto-translation is off!
Another auto-translation hiccup; this means the same thing as fruit.
Gold-level friends. 金 (kin) means gold, フレ (fure) is half of the word フレンド (furendo) meaning friend, and -san is a polite honorific. Often seen in the context of “I water & give GP gifts to kinfure-san!”
This means that after exchanging or harvesting, they want you to unfriend them - returning the “slot” on their friendlist, since space is limited!
Japanese term for trades/trading.
Japanese terms for wishcount. (See wishcount section above for more details about wishcount.)
When you send a friend request, it’s polite to customize it by typing your own message rather than using one of the preset messages - if a user has this in their bio, they will deny the request if you don’t customize it.
中国人) 🇨🇳Slang for friend. General term to use when addressing a friend on the boards.
