When talking about Non Non Biyori, one famous quote that you definitely can't leave out is "Nyanpasu." It's a greeting that Renge suddenly utters in the first episode, but the greeting "Nyanpasu" appears frequently afterwards. By the way, according to Renge it means "Nyan passu!" but Natsumi had no idea what it meant either.
In the end, Hotaru also uses "nyanpasu" as a greeting

The deep meaning of "nyanpasu" is unclear, but in the final episode of the first season, Hotaru naturally returns the greeting with "nyanpasu". Perhaps in the future, the day will come when this will become an official greeting in this rural area...
Quote #2 "Today's news was exciting"

A word that Renge blurted out on the bus on the way to school. While watching the morning news, it seems there was an old man doing radio exercises outside the window behind the presenter the whole time, and to Renge, the footage was very "exciting" and she spoke with a blush on her cheeks. Of course, Natsumi and the others couldn't understand it.
Quote 3: "I've never even seen a key, let alone locked it."

This is what Hotaru said when she lost her key in the schoolyard. Renge and her friends live in the countryside and have no habit of locking their doors, so they were all surprised that Hotaru had a key to the house. As for Komari, it seems she has never even seen the key.
Quote #4 "It's so different from Tokyo..."

This is a comment made by Hotaru shortly after she transferred to the school. She sees a cow crossing sign and hears that there are deer and wild boars, and comments that it's different from Tokyo. Hotaru was surprised by many things, so Renge finally started to suspect that she lived in the countryside.
Quote 5 "Don't call me Koma-chan!"

Komari's response to everyone calling her "Koma-chan." Komari is self-conscious about her small stature, and finds her nickname "Koma-chan," which is taken from "komai," meaning small, to be humiliating. Even when people call her by that nickname in a friendly manner, she gets angry without question.
Quote 6: "One bite of pudding is the same as one candy!"

This is what Natsumi said, desperately wanting the candy that Komari had brought to school. It was an absurd request—since she gave him a bite of pudding, she also asked for a bite of candy (just one piece)—but the simple-minded Komari easily agreed. By the way, the pudding that Natsumi gave Komari was originally hers...
Quote #7 "You really make me laugh..."

Renge's words when she was told that it was actually rice planting, even though she was happy when she was told it was a school trip. Everyone was angry at being deceived, but Renge was even more angry at the lie her sister told, and showed her anger with a dumbfounded look and a low voice.
Quote #8 "Ren-chan has no naming sense..."

This is what Natsumi said to Renge, who named the crab she caught in the river "Osio." This scene speaks for the feelings of most viewers. By the way, when Renge is told that she has no naming sense, she looks surprised and says "Huh?"

This is what Hikage, Renge's older sister, said when she was in high spirits. In this scene, Hikage, a pseudo-city girl, gets nervous at the arrival of Hotaru, a city girl, but regains consciousness when she hears that Hotaru has never been on a Shinkansen. After this, it is revealed that Hotaru has been on an airplane, and Hikage quietly fades out.
Quote #10 "Eat heartily and become hearty!"

This is what Renge said when everyone at the Koshigaya house decided to eat breakfast together. Perhaps because Hotaru is big, she piles rice into a bowl and tells Hotaru to eat heartily while taking on a lively pose. Also pay attention to Renge who is using polite language for some reason only at this time. By the way, Hotaru seems a little hesitant and troubled.
Quote #11 "Don't worry about me!!"

This is what Renge said when Kazuho missed the train on her way back from the beach and left her on the platform. As Renge watches Kazuho miss her train from the train window, Natsumi says to her, "Don't worry, Ren-chon," to which Renge clenches her fist and yells, "Don't worry!" There's not the slightest sign of depression or sadness on her face.
Quote #12 "It's twisted, so it's not the universe?"

A remark from Renge while playing cat's cradle with yarn. The yarn is clearly a mess, but Renge calls it the universe and shows it to Natsumi. Even Natsumi thinks this is odd and says in a serious tone that it's not true, but she is left speechless by Renge's philosophical words.
Quote #13 "My knee's hurt..."

While on her way to the rabbit hutch, Renge was singing a song she'd written, but suddenly she screamed "Dynamite!" and dived into the ground. He jumped in with so much force that it felt like he was head-sliding, and that's why he hurt his knee.
Quote #14 "Rabbits get rid of it!!"

When Hotaru sees a rabbit escaping from the rabbit hutch, she says something that sounds like broken Japanese, and fans have written it in katakana as "Rabbits get rid of it." This line is so famous that when the voice actress appears in other anime, her lines are often written in katakana.
Quote #15 "When I grow up, I'll be your wife"

A surprising remark from Natsumi's mouth. That said, it's just one scene from a video from her childhood. In the video, Natsumi as a child hugs her brother Taku and confesses that she loves him. As is common among children, Natsumi hurriedly stops the video, her face turning red, and she thrashes around for a while.
