ぎゃん
의미: Very, super, extremely — a youth intensifier used to amplify adjectives and verbs.
An intensifier that originated in Kumamoto dialect but has spread among young people nationwide through social media. Functions similarly to めっちゃ or 超, meaning 'very' or 'super.' Its short, punchy sound makes it popular in casual speech and texting. While originally regional, Gen Z speakers across Japan now use it without association to any specific dialect.
