PACCHI-RI ぱっちり
Meanings
Eyes wide open.
Also, the way the eyes are large and prominent.
Examples
・She is a beautiful girl with bright eyes.
目のぱっちりした美しい娘。
・I drink too much coffee and my eyes are wide open and I can’t sleep.
コーヒーの飲み過ぎで、目がぱっちりして眠れない。
Dogmatic Opinion
Perhaps the popping sound of small bubbles popping and the opening and closing of eyelids are interlocked.
As the expression “Pacchirii-Futae” (double-layered eyes) indicates, we can read a positive image of having double-layered eyes and having eyes that look large in modern Japan.
