ひさびさ

• 読み: ひさびさ
• ローマ字: hisabisa
• 発音: /çi.sa.bi.sa/

意味

It's been a while — a casual, softer variant of 久しぶり.

ひさびさ is the colloquial, often hiragana-written variant of 久々 (hisabisa). It has the same meaning as 久しぶり but sounds slightly more relaxed and conversational. It is particularly common in texting and social media, and is often used to describe doing something for the first time in a while rather than greeting people.

例文

1. ひさびさに映画見に行った。
2. ひさびさだね！何年ぶりだろう。
