Tasukete

Tasukete is a Japanese word that translates to "help me" or "save me." It is a common exclamation used in situations of distress or danger, whether real or simulated. The word is derived from the verb tasukeru, which means to help, save, or rescue.

In everyday life, tasukete can be called out when someone is in physical danger, such as falling or being attacked. It can also be used in less serious situations, like needing assistance with a heavy object or getting lost. The tone and context of the cry for help often indicate the level of urgency.

Tasukete is also frequently heard in Japanese media, particularly in anime, manga, and video games. In these contexts, it is often used by characters in peril to signal their need for rescue by the protagonist or other allies. The dramatic use of tasukete in fictional scenarios has contributed to its recognition among non-Japanese speakers. The word carries a strong emotional weight, conveying vulnerability and a plea for immediate aid.
