Drunkard, drunk in Japanese 🇯🇵

よっぱらい info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Break down the word: 'よっぱらい' (yopparai) can be remembered by associating 'よっぱ' (yoppa) with 'drunk' and 'らい' (rai) with 'person.'
– Phonetic similarity: The pronunciation 'yo-pah-rah-ee' can be reminiscent of someone drunkenly slurring their words.

Explanations:
– 'よっぱらい' (yopparai) is a noun used to describe someone who is drunk or a habitual drunkard. It can refer to both temporary drunkenness and a person who is frequently drunk.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 飲んべえ (のんべえ, nonbee): A heavy drinker or habitual drunkard.
– 酔っ払い (すいっぱらい, suipparai): Another term for a drunkard, though less commonly used.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In a casual context, 'よっぱらい' can be used more lightheartedly to refer to someone who is tipsy rather than very drunk.
