Japanese Language@sopuli.xyz•How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?
7·2 years agoI’d suggest asking on hinative.com, since you can ask a native speaker there.
水分補強 sounds like “water rations” or something to me (dictionary). It’s just the nouns and doesn’t imply “stay hydrated!” to me, personally - like writing “Hydration” on a bottle.
Offhand, I’d suggest asking a native speaker about some of these:
- 熱中症にご注意! “Be careful of heatstroke!” (commonly said phrase to imply “drink water” and cool off, probably fits with skeleton best I think? Unless it’s winter, definitely more common in summer)
- 水分を忘れないでね! “Don’t forget to hydrate!” (I need to ask a native speaker if the “ne” makes it sound feminine though)
- グイグイ飲もう! “Let’s drink lots!” (Might imply alcohol, but that might be funnier? or ぐいぐい)
- のんで、のんで、のんでのんで、のんで 、のんで、のんでのんで、のんで ! “Drink!” x10 (Might also have alcoholic connotations - like “Chug chug chug!”)
- 水分補給しよう! “Let’s hydrate!” (Or しましょう which is formal/polite)
I think the first two work best with a skeleton. Maybe 2 is clearest.
Not sure what other ideas people might have - also note that I’m NOT a native Japanese speaker. Just throwing out some ideas!

Curses, きち and きつ are apparently both onyomi.

Oh… I’ll just use 括弧(かっこ) for now, then. It’s easier to type out anyway. Still a cool feature!
