アゲ
의미: Pumped up; hyped; in a high-energy, uplifting mood.
アゲ describes a state of being energised, excited, or having your spirits lifted. It comes from 上げる (ageru, to raise) and became a signature term in 2000s gyaru culture. It can describe your own mood (テンションアゲ, spirits are high), music (アゲ曲, a hype song), or a vibe that lifts everyone's energy. It is the opposite of サゲ (downer).

✗ 잘못된 표현
- ビジネスの場で「アゲですね」は場違い (Saying アゲ in a business meeting sounds out of place and unprofessional)在商务场合说'アゲですね'显得格格不入、不专业。Decir アゲ en una reunión de negocios suena fuera de lugar y poco profesional.비즈니스 자리에서 「アゲですね」는 분위기에 안 맞는다 (비즈니스 미팅에서 アゲ를 쓰면 어울리지 않고 프로답지 못하게 들린다)
흔한 실수
- Confusing アゲ with just being happy — アゲ specifically implies high energy and excitement, not calm contentment
