Hello, I happen to stumble upon this word lately a lot: 不思議
So what does it excaclty mean?
In the dictionaries it is translated as wonder, miracle, strange, mystery.
But I wanted to ask here from First-Hand japanese speakers.
How is it used?
Thanks in advance!

Fumichu wa Fushigi na hito desu.

Nippon wa Fushigi na kuni desu.

Fushigi no kuni no Alice.

不思議 is basically something that is difficult to comprehend. I can add "weird" to that dictionary.

Also, the slang "fushigi-chan" is a bit different from the term just "fushigi." The former is used to discribe eccentric people such as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Actually, the character "Weird Girl" from Frankenwinnie is translated "Fushigi-chan" in the Japanese language version.
