      It's a lot of fun for me as I'm just getting to know all the combinations (of three cards each) foryaku, which means the other fellow must subtract 50 from his score.

Usage notes

[edit]

InJapanese mahjong specifically (including Korean variants), having one or more yaku is a win condition, so anything that can fulfil that condition is considered a yaku. This includes conditions that have nothing to do with the types of tiles that one has, such as making ariichi bet, or completing one's hand with the very last discarded tile.
