16-character limit
Each phrase — catchphrase or mood phrase — can be up to 16 characters. Short, punchy lines work best.
Change any time
Update phrases whenever you like — the only exception is while the Mii is sleeping. Come back later and edit freely.
Attach a gesture
In international (NA, PAL, KR) versions you can pair each phrase with a gesture so your Mii acts it out when they speak.
Phrases are NOT Island Lingo
A Mii's phrases are personal mood lines you set per resident. Island Lingo is entirely separate — it's the island-wide vocabulary in the Island Dictionary, accessed through the Island Info tab in the menu. Editing Island Lingo changes how everyone on your island speaks, not individual Miis.

Tomodachi Life phrases FAQ
What is a catchphrase (pet phrase) in Tomodachi Life?
A catchphrase — also called a pet phrase, or 口癖 (kuchiguse) in Japanese — is a short phrase you give a Mii in Tomodachi Life that it says as its neutral, default expression. Beyond the catchphrase, each Mii also has four mood phrases it uses when happy, mad, sad, or worried, for five phrases in total.
How many characters can a Tomodachi Life phrase be?
Each Tomodachi Life phrase can be up to 16 characters long. That limit applies to the catchphrase and to all four mood phrases (happy, mad, sad, and worried), so short, punchy lines work best.
Can I change a Mii's phrase any time?
Yes. You can change any of a Mii's five phrases at any time — the one exception is while that Mii is sleeping.
Are phrases the same as Island Lingo?
No. Phrases are short mood lines a Mii says when it is happy, mad, sad, or worried — you set them per Mii. Island Lingo is completely separate: it is island-wide vocabulary managed through the Island Dictionary, accessed via the Island Info tab in the menu. Changing Island Lingo affects how everyone on your island speaks, not individual Miis.
