すばらしい (su-bara-shi)

`”su-bara-shi” means something stunning, great or brilliant! It is a very useful word to praise
someone or on something you really appreciate.　Normally use for friends, families or you junior staff.
It could be slightly rude if you use it for your senior people at work.

Here are some examples:
*When your junior staff did a good job, then you say ” su-bara-shi !!”
*When your kid got a prize from school, then you say ” su-bara-shi !!”
*When you first saw Tokyo Towel, then you say ” su-bara-shi !!”
*When you got a praise from your boss by finishing a big project, then you tell yourself ” su-bara-shi !!”
