We give several equivalent characterization of aperiodicity of an element on locally compact group $G$, and give an intuition for "How strong does the aperiodicity of an element affect the existence of hypercyclic weighted translation operators?". In fact, if $a$ is an aperiodic element in $G$, then there exists a mixing, chaotic and frequently hypercyclic weighted translation $T_{ a,w}$ on $L^p(G)$.
