ゆるゆる
Significado: Super relaxed or taking it very easy — a reduplicated form of ゆるい emphasising maximum chillness.
The reduplication of ゆるい, ゆるゆる intensifies the sense of being relaxed and unhurried. It describes doing something at an extremely leisurely pace with no pressure or urgency whatsoever. Used to describe lazy weekends, casual strolls, easy-going relationships, or any activity done without stress. The tone is always positive — ゆるゆる is an aspirational state.
