尊死
의미: Dying from how precious something is — hyperbolic expression of being overwhelmed by adorableness or perfection.
尊死 is a creative compound that merges 尊い (tōtoi, precious/sacred) with 死 (shi, death), literally meaning 'death by preciousness.' It describes the hyperbolic feeling of being so overwhelmed by something precious — a character's cute moment, a ship interaction, or an idol's performance — that you feel like you might die. It is the extreme version of 尊い, used when 尊い alone is not enough.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- 尊死をファン文化以外の文脈で使うと大袈裟に聞こえる (Using 'tōtoshi' outside fan culture sounds overdramatic)在饭圈以外的语境使用'尊死'会显得很夸张(在饭圈以外的场合说'尊死'会显得过于夸张)Usar 'tōtoshi' fuera de la cultura fan suena exagerado팬 문화 밖에서 '존귀사'를 쓰면 오버로 들린다 (팬 문화 이외의 맥락에서 '토토시'를 쓰면 과장으로 들린다)
흔한 실수
- Taking the death metaphor literally — it is purely hyperbolic
- Not understanding the relationship to 尊い — 尊死 is the extreme endpoint of that feeling
