人じん生せい２に周しゅう目め

noun

second time at life; reincarnation

Often used jokingly to describe precocious children who seem to have lived before, or in reincarnation contexts. The gloss 'reincarnation' is a direct meaning, while 'second time at life' captures the humorous usage.

• あの子こはまるで人じん生せい２周しゅう目めみたいに落おち着ついているね。

  That kid is so composed, it's like he's on his second time at life.

• 人じん生せい２周しゅう目めなら前ぜん世せの記き憶おくがあるはずだ。

  If it's a second life, you should have memories of your past life.
