Description

Semper Fi in Japanese is 常に忠誠を which is read tsune ni chuusei wo

The Japanese phrase tsune ni chuusei wo is the most common translation of the motto of the United States Marines "Semper Fi" or "Semper Fidelis". tsune ni chuusei wo means "Always Faithful" and is composed of the words 常に (read tsuneni) meaning "always", 忠誠 (read chuusei) meaning "faithful; loyal; sincere" and the grammatical element (read wo) which in this case acts effectively makes the preceding word into a verb.
