しまった It's a Japanese word that can be translated as "drug!", "Oh no!", "I forgot" or "I did something wrong". The word is formed by the junction of the verb "Shimau" (meaning "end" or "complete") with the suffix "TTA", which indicates past action. Therefore, "Shimatta" can be literally interpreted as "I finished" or "I completed", but it is used in situations where something went wrong or when someone regrets something they did or forgot to do. It is a common expression in Japan and can be used in different contexts, from everyday situations to more formal situations.How to Write in Japanese - (しまった) shimata
