Hallo,
Could you please help me with the following... I wonder, what is the right way to write "Go forward" in Japanese: 前え or 前へ ? This is a famous phrase of rugby coach legend Chūji Kitajima...

Thank you 😊

Although it sounds like え, 前 would be the correct way to write this, as the particle へ (always pronounced as え) denote the general direction of an action.

This is technically a sentence fragment (a full sentence would have a verb at the end, like 前へ進もう or 前へ向こう, but it basically translates to "onwards."
