equivalent word in English? - すごいSugoi? Hey, I have a question... Long time ago, I was texting with someone who was studying Japanese. He told me a story from his childhood, which was quite shocking to me, so I said "すごい (sugoi)". It meant neither "great" nor "awesome", but he misunderstood and thought I liked the story. すごい doesn't always mean "great" or "awesome". It depends on the situation, but sometimes this word expresses disgust, too. In this case, I was like "oh my god... how could you do that?" or something like that. And I am wondering if there is an equivalent word in English... is there?
