You've got this! / Go for it! — an encouragement cheer.
Shouted at someone before an exam, a game, a job interview, or anything hard. It is support, never aggression — the English root misleads completely. Often written "파이팅" too.
From English "fighting," reshaped into Korean phonology and meaning.
It does not mean fighting. Hearing it as aggressive is the classic learner mistake.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Korean — it uses 화이팅 the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Korean.
