Want to die in Japanese 🇯🇵

しにたい info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– The phrase "しにたい" (shinitai) can be broken down into "しに" (shini, from "しぬ" (shinu) which means "to die") and "たい" (tai, a suffix meaning "want to"). Combining them, you get "しにたい" (shinitai) which literally translates to "want to die".
– You can remember it by thinking of "しに" (shini) as akin to "shrine" with a darker connotation, often associated with spirits and death in some cultures, and "たい" (tai), like “tie”, as in tying your fate to wanting something.

Explanations:
– "しにたい" (shinitai) is an informal and first-person expression meaning "I want to die."
– "しぬ" (shinu) is the dictionary form of the verb "to die."
– The suffix "たい" (tai) is added to the stem of a verb to indicate a desire or want to do that verb.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 死亡したい (しぼうしたい, shibōai) – a more formal or clinical way to say "want to die."
– 自殺したい (じさつしたい, jisatsu ai) – which directly translates to "want to commit suicide."

Different conjugations:
– Plain form/present: しにたい (shinitai) – I want to die.
– Past: しにたかった (shinitakatta) – I wanted to die.
– Negative: しにたくない (shinitakunai) – I don’t want to die.
– Past Negative: しにたくなかった (shinitakunakatta) – I didn’t want to die.
– Future: In Japanese, the "たい" form already implies future intent in context, so it remains しにたい (shinitai).
