How it's used
Originally derived from Japanese loanwords, this term describes an intense, almost burning dedication to a cause or goal. It often carries a slightly dramatic or heroic connotation, frequently used to describe characters in anime or people who are exceptionally driven by their convictions. While it implies positive passion, it can sometimes be used jokingly to describe someone who is overly excited or acting impulsively for a cause.
Examples
He is very passionate and always goes for his dreams.
Why are you being so intense? Calm down a bit first.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe romantic passion or sexual desire, as it is strictly reserved for ideals, goals, or collective spirit. It is not a general synonym for being excited or happy.
