Explanation and Etymology - (勝手に) katteni
勝手に It is a Japanese expression that can be translated as "on your own", "without permission" or "at will". The word is composed by the Kanji 勝 (shou), which means "victory", "triumph" or "winning", and 手 (te), which means "hand" or "skill". Together, these Kanji form the word 勝手 (katte), which means "selfish" or "own". Kanji に (Ni) is a particle that indicates action or state and, in this case, is used to indicate that something is done without permission or authorization. Therefore, 勝手に can be understood as "doing something selfish or without permission".
