Japanese Slang: ヤバイ

Japanese Slang: ヤバイ


Explaining the Japanese slang
Daaang son, what's the matter???



This is really common nowadays as a slang used among teenagers to people in their 30's,40's and even 50's. 

The term ヤバイ. The interesting thing is that it contains various meanings and can be used in very different situations. The meaning also seems to differ among the various age groups.

Excitement
Whoah,,,, excitement at its best. I wish I had such awesome hair. Lol


Alright guys, 

When you visit Japan and start getting immersed in the language and people, slang starts to creep up to you. It may be a very subtle thing, or something that's worth taking note of. 

I'm sure there's slang for every generation and it has its own contexts. 

Sometimes there's slang that's pretty common for almost all generations. 

One type of slang that's pretty much used and heard almost everyday is テンションが高い

今日はテンションが高いぞー!!!

Top 5 Japanese Puns(ダジャレ) that impress

Top 5 Japanese Puns(ダジャレ) that impress



A Japanese Pun worthy picture
Maybe not included in the Japanese Puns,,, but hey, it's weird and funny,,,, this counts


There's nothing weirder and more interesting than Japanese jokes (ギャグ) when exploring the Japanese language and culture. One branch of jokes known as Japanese puns (ダジャレ)plays with the meaning and pronunciation of Japanese words. They can be used sparingly but caution is required when using the same set very frequently. They can get old with your buddies. It can also be seen as an 'old thing' that has passed it's generation at times so keep that in mind. But most people won't worry if you are a foreigner; they'll understand your desire to become a 日本人.
