What do these japanese words mean?

Question:


recently i keep hearing japanese words that sound familiar. And i searched them to find out what they mean but there are some that i couldnt find (probably i spelled them wrong)
If you have any idea what one of these are can you tell me? Thanks ^_^

sassoku
gorogoro
ko-iu-funi (i think i might know what this means from context clues but just to be sure)


There was alot more but Unfortunetly thats all i can remember right now

Answer:


sassoku:
It means immediately or right away. When using it in a sentence, it kind of has the meaning,"let's do___now."
Like in this sentence: "sassoku umi ni ikou"
"let's go to the ocean now."

gorgoro:
It has several meanings:
-it can be the sound word for the sound that a thunder makes, and sometimes it's even used as a sound word for the purring noise that cats make, and like the other person said, it can be a sound word for of something rolling
-it can also be used to describe the act of being lazy and just lying around doing nothing important.
used in a sentence: "gorogoro shitenaide hayaku shukudai yarinasai!"
Stop Gorgoro-ing (haha jap-glish!) and do your homework!
It makes sense that it's used in this way since a lazy person is pretty much just "rolling around" doing nothing.

ko-iu-funi:
It means "like this"
It can be used when explaining someone how to do something "like this" and stuff like that.
