Dirty in Japanese 🇯🇵

きたない info.

– Tips to Remember the Japanese Word:
– Imagine a messy, dirty room. The word "きたない" can help you remember it because "kit" sounds like the start of "kitchen," which can often be a place that gets dirty.
– Break down the word: "きた" (kita) can remind you of the English word "clutter," and "ない" (nai) often means "not" or "without." So, think of "without clutter" as "not dirty" flipped to remind you that きたない means dirty.

– Explanations:
– "きたない" (kitanai) is a common adjective used to describe something that is dirty, messy, or unclean.

– Other Words that Mean the Same Thing:
– 不潔 (ふけつ, fuketsu) – unclean, unsanitary
– 汚れた (よごれた, yogoreta) – soiled, stained

– Alternate Meanings like Slang:
– きたない can also be used metaphorically to describe someone’s behavior as dirty, unfair, or underhanded.
