お墨付き
Significado: An official seal of approval or authoritative endorsement, originating from the ink-sealed documents of the samurai era.
In modern usage, お墨付き indicates that someone with authority or expertise has given their approval. It adds weight and credibility to a recommendation. While the original meaning involved literal ink seals on official documents, today it is used casually to mean 'trusted endorsement' from anyone whose opinion carries weight — a boss, an expert, or even popular opinion.
Ejemplos

- あの店は地元民のお墨付きだから間違いない。 那家店是当地人盖章认可的，绝对没问题。Esa tienda tiene el aval de la gente del barrio, así que es una apuesta segura.그 가게는 지역 주민의 보증이 있으니까 틀림없어.
- 親のお墨付きがないと結婚の話進まないんだよね。 没有父母的认可，结婚的事就没法往前推。Sin la aprobación de los padres, la cosa del matrimonio no avanza.부모님 허락이 없으면 결혼 이야기가 진전이 안 돼.
