5 ways We Learned From ぎりぎり

In Japanese, ぎりぎり has some meanings such as time-wise, distance-wise, money-wise as well. So that’s why a lot of people are confused on how to use ぎりぎり. So let me introduce how to use ぎりぎり suiting some situations.

Although someone has to do something such as homework, however, he/she leaves it until the last minute. Then, using ぎりぎり suits for these situations time-wise. For instance, ぎりぎりになって約束やくそくをキャンセルする means “To cancel an appointment at the last minute”, which is called “ドタキャン”.
