Description
仕方が無い (shikata ga nai) means "It cannot be helped", one of the most quietly resilient phrases in Japanese, spoken when a thing is beyond one's control and must simply be accepted. It joins 仕方 (shikata) "a way, a method" with 無い (nai) "there is none": there is no way around it.Related products
