How to say "prepared" in Japanese
- 良いよいi-adjectiveThe fuller shape, also seen in writing. Its 'prepared' sense is really 'ready' or 'all set' — everything in a satisfactory state — as when checking that arrangements are complete before starting.
- i-adjective (よい/いい)The shape the word takes in speech. Same 'ready, all set' sense: asking whether someone is ready, or saying that the present state is fine as it is — not 'having made preparations'.
These are the same word in two shapes: 「いい」 is the shape used in speech, 「良い」 the fuller shape seen in writing; for 'prepared' they mean 'ready, all set' — not 'having made preparations in advance'.
