    Default Aiyo Aiyo Fighting!

    I've been watching alot of K drama lately and nearly every series have had this catchphrase :- "Aiya, Aiya.. FIGHTING" (with the same accompanying hand movement). Can anybody tell me where this comes from??

    Fighting = Fighting power- You can do it/I can do it! The Japanese equivalent of Gambatte (not sure of spelling) and Mandarin jia you (again not sure of pinyin).

    I see..... When I first saw it in my first k-series, I thought it must be like a thing between friends. Then I saw it again, and again, and again... so I realised it was a cultural thing!

    You learn something new everyday.....

    Thanks
