今日も一日頑張りましょう

This phrase is a combination of several common Japanese words and grammatical structures. * **今日 (kyō):** Means 'today'. Its etymology can be traced back to a combination of 'ko' (this) and 'hi' (day). * **も (mo):** A particle meaning 'also' or 'too'. It indicates that 'today' is included in a similar effort as previous days, or that the effort applies to 'today' as well. * **一日 (ichinichi):** Means 'one day' or 'all day'. 'Ichi' (one) and 'nichi' (day). * **頑張りましょう (ganbarimashō):** This is the volitional form of the verb 頑張る (ganbaru), which means 'to do one's best', 'to try hard', 'to persevere', or 'to hang in there'. * **頑 (gan):** This kanji means 'stubborn', 'firm', 'resolute'. It's related to concepts of hardness and persistence. * **張る (haru):** This verb means 'to stretch', 'to spread', 'to strain', 'to tighten'. In this context, it implies straining oneself or exerting effort. * When combined, 頑張る (ganbaru) conveys the idea of resolutely stretching or exerting oneself. * The **-ましょう (-mashō)** ending is a polite volitional form, inviting or suggesting a collective action. It translates to 'let's do X'. Therefore, '今日も一日頑張りましょう' literally means something like 'Today also, for the whole day, let's do our best.' It's a very common and warm expression used to encourage others, often at the start of a day or when facing a challenge. It embodies a cultural value of perseverance and collective effort.
