一目

This is the 7186th most frequent Japanese word.


一目

"一目" means "a glance" or "a view."


In this sentence, "一目" is used in the phrase "一目惚れ", which translates to 'love at first sight.' The usage demonstrates an idiomatic expression involving noticing someone instantly for romantic feelings.

彼女に一目惚れしました。

I fell in love with her at first sight.


Here, "一目" is used to indicate perceiving or understanding something immediately upon seeing it, with a literal meaning of 'one look' or 'a single glance.'

一目で彼が疲れていることが分かりました。

I understood at a glance that he was tired.


In this example, "一目" again signifies the action of grasping or comprehending information quickly through a single view or observation.
