意思
A polite and concerned phrase, often said to someone who is ill.
文化背景
In Japanese clinics, the staff will always say 'O-daiji ni' as you leave. It is considered part of the treatment process to offer these words of comfort. Saying 'O-daiji ni' to a colleague who is sick is crucial for maintaining 'Wa' (harmony). It signals that you don't mind doing extra work while they are away. When visiting someone in the hospital, it is common to bring a gift called 'Omimai.' As you present it and leave, 'O-daiji ni' is the standard closing. You will see many people in Japan wearing masks. If a friend is wearing one and looks tired, saying 'O-daiji ni' is a kind way to acknowledge they might be struggling.
Drop the 'douzo' for friends
With close friends, just say 'O-daiji ni!' It sounds more natural and less like a doctor.
Don't say it to yourself
If you are sick, you don't say 'O-daiji ni.' You say 'Kaze o hikimashita' (I caught a cold).
