Explanation and Etymology - (義理) giri
義理 (ぎり, Giri) is a Japanese word that can be translated as "moral obligation" or "moral duty." The word is composed of two kanjis: 義 (GI) which means "justice" or "morality" and 理 (laughs) which means "reason" or "logic". The word Giri is often used to describe the social or moral obligation that one person has in relation to another, such as the obligation to repay one favor, to help a friend in need or to respect parents and family. The word Giri can also be used to describe the obligation a person has regarding their work or profession, such as the obligation to comply with deadlines, to be punctual or to maintain the confidentiality of information. In some situations, the word Giri can conflict with another Japanese word, the word ninjo (人情), which means "human feeling" or "emotion." When these two words conflict, the person may have to choose between following their moral duty (giri) or following their heart (ninjo).How to Write in Japanese - (義理) giri
