How to say "awesome" in Japanese

• 恐れ多いおそれおおい
  i-adjectiveCovers 'awesome' only in its literal sense of inspiring awe: an august, venerable figure before whom one feels small or unworthy. It is not the word for the everyday 'great, cool' sense.
  そのオペラにはおそれ多おおくも皇太子こうたいし殿下でんかご夫妻ふさいが足あしを運はこばれた。↗

  The opera was graced with the august presence of the Crown Prince and Princess.
• パネェ
  prenominal modifierCasual slang for the excited 'amazing, incredible' sense: something so extreme it is almost unbelievable. Said in spontaneous reaction to an outrageous feat, skill, or amount.
• 恐るべしおそるべし
  na-adjectiveVoices awe at something formidable — a power to be marveled at, with a hint of fear. Typical of exclamations over what some field or force can accomplish.
• 最の高さいのこう
  expression, no-adjective, na-adjectiveSlang for the enthusiastic 'the best' sense of awesome: exclaiming that something is wonderful and delights you completely. A less common way to voice wholehearted approval.
• ど偉いどえらい
  i-adjectiveCovers 'awesome' as 'tremendous, terrific': emphasizing sheer scale or degree, from enormous amounts to hugely impressive feats. The sense is magnitude as much as admiration.

Choose 「恐れ多い」 or 「恐るべし」 for awe before something august or formidable, 「パネェ」 or 「最の高」 for slangy excited praise, and 「ど偉い」 for tremendous scale or degree; all five are less common choices.
