哈基米

Borrowed from Japanese はちみー (hachimī), a corrupted form of 蜂蜜(はちみつ) (hachimitsu) (hachimitsu, “honey”). Popularized by the "Honey Song," originally sung by Tokai Teio in the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime (Season 2, Episode 12). The term's meaning shifted from honey water to cute animals, particularly cats, after a remixed version of the song gained traction on Chinese social media platforms like TikTok in pet videos.

哈基米

1. (original meaning) honey water.

   Synonym: (standard) 蜂蜜水 (fēngmìshuǐ)

2. (Internet slang, Mainland China) a cute animal, especially a cat.

As a memetic label, often derived from online conflicts and cultural clashes, this word is not only used to refer figuratively to a cat, but also to any other animal, or a person. This usage frequently follows the pattern "哈基" (Hā jī ), where is another noun, often referring to an animal (e.g., 哈基汪 (hā jī wāng) for dog, 哈基鼠 (hā jī shǔ) for rat/mouse) or a group of people (e.g., 哈集美 (hā jíměi)), reflecting the term's adaptability for creating humorous or critical designations within online communities.
