すこすこ

• Reading: すこすこ
• Romaji: sukosuko
• Pronunciation: /sɯ.ko.sɯ.ko/

Meaning

An emphatic doubled form of すこ (like/love) meaning 'love it love it' — expressing enthusiastic affection.

すこすこ doubles the internet slang すこ (distorted from 好き/すき, like/love) for extra emphasis. The repetition conveys intense, enthusiastic affection — typically for content, characters, streamers, or anything the speaker is a fan of. It is more playful and hyperbolic than a single すこ and carries a sense of gleeful, uncontrollable fondness. Very common in niconico comments, YouTube chats, and fan communities.

Examples

1. この曲すこすこのすこ。ずっとリピートしてる。 I love love LOVE this song. I've had it on repeat nonstop.
2. すこすこすぎてフォルダがスクショだらけ。 I love it so much my camera roll is nothing but screenshots.
3. 新キャラすこすこなんだけどわかる人いる？ I'm obsessed with the new character — anyone else feel me?

Usage Guide

Context: online communities, social media, fan culture, streaming

Do Say

• このキャラすこすこ (I love this character so much)

Don't Say

• 告白で「すこすこ」は軽すぎる (Using 'sukosuko' in a love confession is too lighthearted — say 大好きです)

Common Mistakes

• Not knowing it's a doubled form of すこ, which comes from 好き
