意味

Roger — a playful way to say 'understood' or 'got it,' from English 'roger.'

らじゃ is the Japanese rendering of English 'roger' (as in 'roger that'), used as a quick, playful acknowledgment. It is lighter and more fun than 了解 (ryoukai) and carries a slightly military/radio-communication flavour that is used humorously. Common in texting and online communication as a cheerful way to confirm understanding.
