意気投合
i.ki.tou.gou
Literally: mind – spirit – throw – join
Alternately: Getting along with someone really well. Hitting it off. Finding a kindred spirit. Mutual understanding. Perfect concordance.
Note: For some reason it’s easy for me to start thinking that this phrase mostly applies to when two people have just met and develop a rapport right off the bat, but that’s not the case: it can also be used for people who have developed such a rapport over time.
I actually knew this one (: Though I wouldn’t classify it as a full kotowaza
That’s why it’s a Wednesday 四字熟語 post. 8^P
