While perhaps not as explicit in nature or quite as widely used as in other cultures, the language does have its fair share of fascinating, nuanced, and occasionally eyebrow-raising curses.\n\nHere, we'll cover all of the bad words we think a person might want to know—whether they want to [learn Japanese](\u002Flearn-japanese) or not.\n\n\u003Ctoc>\u003C\u002Ftoc>\n\n---\n\n## Why learn Japanese curse words, anyway? \n\nBefore we actually share our first glorious bits of Japanese profanity, let’s take a minute to justify ourselves: why should you bother with swear words if you're learning Japanese? After all, you don’t need them to get through your day. Right? _(Right?)_\n\nWell, here’s the thing:\n\n1. **They help you understand native content**\u003Cbr>If you’re consuming pretty much any Japanese media, you're going to run into profanity. These are real Japanese words that real Japanese people say. If you aren't up to speed on your rude derogatory language, you're occasionally going to miss emotional context and nuance. That would be unfortunate.\n\n2. **They reveal some sort of interesting cultural insights**\u003Cbr>The things a language chooses to blaspheme with gives you a peek at what they consider sacred, and you can gain similarly interesting insights from taking a moment to consider the things they find demeaning or insulting. This likely won't ever be _useful_ knowledge to you, but it's interesting food for thought.\n\n3. **They help you avoid offending people**\u003Cbr>This one needs some context. Research has shown that, when speaking a second language, [our depth perception for the offensiveness of curses is dulled](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.researchgate.net\u002Fpublication\u002F237444929_The_Emotional_Force_of_Swearwords_and_Taboo_Words_in_the_Speech_of_Multilinguals). If you don't take a moment to look into how bad a bad word _actually_ is, you might end up inadvertently saying something much ruder than you expected.\n\nWe thus present you with this golden rule:\n\n> **\u003CCenteredText bold>Know, but don't use.\u003C\u002FCenteredText>**\n\n---\n\n## Common Japanese Swear Words: A Crash Course\n\nHere’s a list of some of the most common Japanese swear words, their meanings, and when they’re used.\n\n| Japanese                                                                                | Romaji    | Meaning          | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |\n| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| くそ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-くそ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>             | Kuso      | Shit \u002F Damn      | Literally means \"poo\", and used to express anger or frustration, just like in English. \u003Cbr>Often combined with other words as a prefix, a la \"kuso gaki\" (spoiled brat, literally \"poo kid\")                                                                                       |\n| バカ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-ばか.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>             | Baka      | Idiot \u002F Stupid   | Probably the most famous Japanese swear word. \u003Cbr> Just like in English, can be playful or offensive depending on the context or tone of voice.                                                                                                                                    |\n| あほ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-あほ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>             | Aho       | Moron            | Milder than \"baka\" in the Kansai area, harsher than \"baka\" everywhere else                                                                                                                                                                                                         |\n| ちくしょう \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-ちくしょう.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> | Chikushou | Damn it!         | A quite mild exclamation you can use when you're frustrated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |\n| うざい \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-うざい.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>         | Uzai      | Pain in the ass  | Short for うざったい. \u003Cbr> This is a slangy and informal way to say that something is so annoying you can't stand it.                                                                                                                                                              |\n| てめえ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-てめえ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>         | Temee     | You (rude)       | Even the normal way to say \"you\" (あなた) is considered rude in Japanese. \u003Cbr> This more aggressive and disrespectful variant is basically like addressing someone as \"you bastard\". \u003Cbr> Common in manga and anime, but only used in real life when people are actually fighting. |\n| 死ね \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-死ね.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>             | Shine     | Die \u002F go to hell | Literally the command form of 死ぬ (shinu, \"to die\"). \u003Cbr> Considered to be one of Japanese's most rude expressions. \u003Cbr> Again, this is another fighting word.                                                                                                                    |\n\n---\n\n## Swearing 101: Tone, context, and Japanese culture\n\nAs in English, when you're swearing in Japanese, it's not just about _what_ you're saying.\n\nConsider the following situations:\n\n- You beat your friend in a match of Super Smash Bros. As you deliver the KO, he laughs and says \"go to hell, man\"\n- You call a friend you haven't seen in a long time and ask if they want to hang out. In a voice dripping with venom, they say \"Go to hell\" and then hang up.\n\nHits different, doesn't it?\n\nThe context in which a curse is uttered, and the tone with which it is said, has a big impact on how offensive it is. This is as true in Japanese as it is in English: whether or not バカ sounds playful or rude has a lot to do with your delivery.\n\n### Focus on the situation and intent, not the word itself\n\nNow, think about the difference between these three expressions:\n\n- Shut up\n- Shut the hell up\n- Shut the fuck up\n\nThey all mean the same thing, but adding curse words _intensifies_ the expression. While we often use curse words like this in English, you don't necessarily need curse words to get the same effect in Japanese.\n\nBelow are a few common English expressions and the most common translations I saw when skimming articles explaining English swear words for Japanese people:\n\n- What the hell did you just say? \u003Cbr> 今何って言ったんだ？ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-今何って言ったんだ？.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> \u003Cbr> いまなんっていったんだ？\u003Cbr> Note: There is no word that corresponds to \"hell\".

This could also be translated as \"what the heck are you doing?\".\n\n- What the fuck? \u003Cbr> なんだって！？ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-なんだって！.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> \u002F なんじゃそりゃ！ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-なんじゃそりゃ！.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> \u002F なんてこった！ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-なんてこった！.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>\u003Cbr> Again, none of these words correspond to \"fuck\". All three translations are just expressions of surprise.\n\nIn other words:\n\n> Worry less about how to translate a specific English swear word into Japanese. \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> Worry more about what Japanese people say in the situations where you would use a particular swear word in English.\n\n---\n\n## Busu and Yarou: A bit of gender-specific profanity and insulting words\n\nAs with most languages, Japanese has its fair share of gendered insults. Again, for an interesting thought experiment, take a moment to think about the ways that men are insulted, how that differs from how women get insulted, and why that difference exists.\n\nWhile on the topic of gender—note that, in Japanese culture, women who swear are judged more harshly than men who swear.\n\nAnyway, here's a short list of stuff you might hear:\n\n### Japanese insults directed at men\n\nHere are some colorful expressions that you may hear directed at men:\n\n| Japanese                                                                            | Romaji     | Meaning         | Notes                                                                                                                                                 |\n| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| 野郎 \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-野郎.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>         | Yarou      | Jerk \u002F bastard  | Often この野郎, or combined with other insults, such as 馬鹿野郎 (baka yarou).                                                                        |\n| クズ男 \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-クズ男.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>     | Kuzu otoko | Loser \u002F scumbag | The type of man who lies and does things like borrow money without returning it. \u003Cbr> They're probably rude to women and may be a cheater or stalker. |\n| ハゲ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-はげ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>         | Hage       | Baldy           | A jab at a man's physical appearance.                                                                                                                 |\n| クソジジ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-クソジジ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> | Kuso jiji  | Old bastard     | An insult directed at older men.                                                                                                                      |\n\n### Japanese insults directed at women\n\nAnd here are some less than polite words and phrases you may hear directed at women:\n\n| Japanese                                                                            | Romaji  | Meaning        | Notes                                                         |\n| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| ブス \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-ブス.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>         | Busu    | Ugly woman     | An insulting way to say that a woman is less than attractive. |\n| デブス \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-デブス.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>     | Debusu  | Fat ugly woman | A combination of デブ (fatty) and ブス.                       |\n| アバズレ \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-あばずれ.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> | Abazure | Bitch          | A strong insult with sexist overtones.                        |\n| ババア \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fja-ババア.mp3\" :type=\"3\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio>     | Babaa   | Old hag        | An insult directed at older women.

Rather, there just aren't really that many situations where you're realistically going to tell somebody to go to fucking hell in real life. (Really, when was the last time you said that in English?)\n\nEven when you think about anime, dramas, or movies—the character's aren't necessarily just swearing without abandon. They're in life or death situations, being cheated on, and stuff like that—situations in which it's perfectly understandable that a person would be genuinely angry and use confrontational language... and situations that you hopefully don't often find yourself in.\n\n> Basically: unless you're drunk and picking a fight with the other drunk guy outside of 7\u002F11, you probably won't find good situations to use words like てめえ or 死ね.\n\n---\n\n## How do you learn Japanese profanity if no textbooks teach it?\n\nLet's be real: Genki ain't gonna teach you this shit.\n\nNeither is your Japanese teacher.\n\nMigaku _will_ 💪 ‼️ 🤫\n\nTo be clear— while we don't _teach_ you to swear like a drunken ~~sailor~~ salary man, we _do_ give you the tools you need to learn how to do so, if you feel that you must.\n\nYou see, all you have to do is watch (or read) Japanese content. People are eventually going to swear. I mean, check this out—it's a kindly-looking middle-aged woman who runs a cooking channel on YouTube. She thought she'd found a killer recipe for lemon pudding... but then, shortly after doing the taste test, she drops a ちくしょう.\n\nGood students with innocent ears that we are, we don't know what that means.\n\nThat's where Migaku comes in.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fmigaku-japanese-swears-demo.jpeg\" width=\"2800\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"A japanese woman expressing her frustration with ちくしょう\" \u002F>\n\nMigaku parses Japanese text on places like YouTube and Netflix (and basically anywhere with text you can highlight) to make it interactive. After Migaku has parsed a page, you can simply click on a word in subtitles or a paragraph to bring up a dictionary definition of what the word means. If it isn't in our dictionary, you can instead get an AI explain what it means, given the context of your sentence.\n\nSo let's say that you decide that ちくしょう looks like a useful word to learn.\n\nJust click on that orange button in the top-right corner of the Migaku dictionary.\n\nWe'll automatically make you a flashcard like this:\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fmigaku-japanese-flashcard-chikushou.jpeg\" width=\"1184\" height=\"1236\" alt=\"A flashcard that Migaku automatically created to help you learn the meaning of  \"  \u002F>\n\nTo make that flashcard, Migaku automatically combined several things:\n\n- Your target word (ちくしょう) and the sentence it appeared in were copied\n- A screenshot was taken of the scene where ちくしょう was uttered\n- An audio snippet of the line of dialogue where ちくしょう appeared\n- A dictionary definition of ちくしょう\n- An example sentence of the word being used in context, just in case\n\nIt's kinda beautiful. What's more, that flashcard gets dropped right into [Migaku's spaced repetition software](\u002Fblog\u002Flanguage-fun\u002Fspaced-repetition-language-learning), ensuring that you eventually remember it.\n\n\u003Cprose-button href=\"\u002Flearn-japanese\" text=\"Learn Japanese with Migaku\">\u003C\u002Fprose-button>\n\n---\n\n## Listen up, baka: some closing words about rude words\n\nThe way you learn Japanese swear words is by consuming Japanese content you enjoy, encountering them in context, and learning them as you go.\n\nThe thing is, that's actually how you should learn normal Japanese, too.\n\n> The way we _really_ make progress in a foreign language is by interacting with its media and understanding the messages within that media. If you consume Japanese content, and understand that content, you'll get better at Japanese. _Period._\n\nYou've now learned a good handful of Japanese swear words, but that's only half the battle. Now you need to see a lot of examples of them being used so you can get a feel for the weight they carry and when Japanese people say them.\n\nBasically: Know, but don't use. (Yet).\n",{"title":5,"description":814},"article\u002Fjapanese\u002Fjapanese-swears","w0i954Nj7bPt1wM4f0F1aDyrYzmV8-ekryPtJhtGzFU","February 18,
