Diving In
Dropping By
noun
You’re doing a 飛ぶ and 込む at the same time, or you jump into, meaning you're diving in. Picture yourself standing somewhere up high, and then jumping to dive into a deep body of water.
Alternatively, this can also refer to doing something, or joining or going somewhere without an appointment, announcement, or prior registration, which is where the dropping by meaning comes in. For some use cases of this, check out our common word combinations and context sentences below!
