You mean "moshi moshi." Accounts differ. I read that "moshi moshi" is supposed to be a sound that foxes (regarded as mischievous shape shifting spirits) can't make, so when the person you're calling answers the phone "moshi moshi," you know you're talking to a human and not a fox posing as a human. I've also heard that "moshi moshi" comes from "mousu," which means "to say," and that "moshi" used to be used when talking to people, though it isn't any longer.
Haha, "Atsui kotori." I watched this video many times over a few weeks ago and never heard that. I guess my Japanese has improved quite a bit :)

so the "ko" character can be used for describing nouns in a diminutive way? Then I guess "chiisai" (I think that's how you write it) is different.
