おつまる
含义: A cute, abbreviated way of saying 'good work' or 'thanks for your effort' — shortened from お疲れ様 with a playful twist.
おつまる follows the same pattern as あざまる — taking the abbreviated form おつ (from お疲れ様, otsukare-sama) and adding まる (circle/period). Like あざまる, it has an extended playful form おつまる水産 (otsumaru suisan). It is used among close friends, particularly young women, as a casual and cute way to acknowledge someone's effort or to say goodbye at the end of an activity.
