heavy

• 重たい = おもたい  ( = omotai)
heavy

Note: 重い　( = omoi) & 重たい ( = omotai) both have the same meaning: “heavy” . We don’t usually distinguish between them very much but I think 重たい

( = omotai）is a bit stronger than 重い  ( = omoi).

Culture note :

We say「お帰りなさい」( = Okaerinasai) to welcome our family member when they come back home. If you are the one who comes back home, you are supposed to say 「ただいま！」(=Tadaima), which means“I am home! “. (只今 ( = tadaima) literally means ”right now”.)

“(I came back) home just now!”→“I am home! “

When we leave home, we say 「行って来ます。」( = Itte kimasu.) or 「行って参ります。」 ( = Itte mairimasu.) ,←more polite, to your family members who stay home or see you off. Those who see off the family (those who stay at home) say 「行ってらっしゃい！」 ( = Itte rasshai!) .
