わらいたい info.

– Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Break it down: "わら" (wara) means "laugh" and "いたい" (itai) means "want to."
– Associate "わら" (wara) with the English word "war" because laughter can be as explosive and contagious as a war.
– "いたい" (itai) is also the same word used for expressing physical pain in Japanese, think of it this way: you want to laugh so hard it might hurt.

– Explanations:
– "わらいたい" (wara itai) is a verb made up of "わらう" (warau) meaning "to laugh" and "たい" (tai) which is a suffix used to indicate desire/want to do something.
