一石二鳥
Actually, 一石二鳥 is pronounced いっせきにちょう (isseki nichou).
一期一会 (いちごいちえ) means "a once-in-a-lifetime encounter."
一石二鳥 / 悪因悪果
一石二鳥 - いちご いちえ - ichigo ichie
Killing two birds with one stone.
Literally: one stone, two birds.
(this is elsewhere on the site, but i thought it could go here too).
悪因悪果 - あくいん あっか - akuin akka
Evil intentions cause evil results; Seeds of evil yield evil crops. Literally: Root of evil, evil results.
Notes: 悪 (あく/aku) is a combination of 亜 (あ/a), meaning "sub-," and 心 (こころ/kokoro), meaning "heart." Someone who is evil has no heart.
千軍万馬
千軍万馬 【せんぐんばんば】 (having experienced) many battles
一刀両断
いっとうりょうだん
I think it means one hit kill.
It's on chibi Cloud's sword.
here is another: 一生懸命 (いっしょうけんめい)
means to try very hard at something. i've actually seen this one used quite a bit. ex: 一生懸命勉強する (Studying hard)
Re: 一刀両断
Close, 一刀両断 means literally "Cutting in two with a single stroke" and then you can extend its meaning to "acting with resolution or determination, taking drastic action," etc.
Kotowaza
My favorite is 猿も木から落ちる さるもきからおちる。＝Even monkeys fall from trees, or "nobody's perfect".
Yep, I'll definitely add
Yep, I'll definitely add that one :)
