"Gross". This is a "bad word". Some schools prohibit the use of this word. If used to describe a person, it means: extremely ugly and weird.
Don't forget that the word kimoi comes
from two words smushed together --
kimochi and warui.[Comment by: Dan Monahan Rated:4/5 ]
In Kansai the use Kishoi[Comment by: Mizuta ]
Hard to translate, unpleasantly SLIMY?
I would say. In context, ( i was chatted
up by a Kimoi guy, yuck!!)
kimoi hito ni hanashikakerareta,
Girls' talk .[Comment by: deibitto ]
I didn't know that kimoi was a bad
thing to say and when i said it in front
of my homestay mom i got a pretty
lengthy lecture.
be careful where you use it -.-"
and as dan said, in front of adults say
kimochi warui. bad feeling[Comment by: :/ ]
wouldn't mazui be a "safe" word to use?
i often hear it in anime for this type
of thing.[Comment by: SteelGolem ]
well, "mazui" if for when a situation is
bad.[Comment by: yamiko aizawa Rated:2/5 ]
Kimoi is not so bad and it would not be
prohibitted to use it in school.but u
need to use it at proper place...[Comment by: shu ]
Would you still use the word "kimoi" if
you wanted to call someone "extreamly
ugly"? I'm writing a story and one of my
characters is pretty fresh from Japan.
I'll show you what I mean:
I, Derek stuttered. Im sorry Miyuki!
It took me a minute to realize who you
were, really! Miyuki Takara looked at
him in contemplation.
Hmm, I dont know, yo. What you think
Bella? Should I let this kimoi go?
(yes, she thinks she's gangster. lol)
So, what do I put there? I'm at a loss!
=^=()[Comment by: Ki-san Rated:3/5 ]
Kimoi isn't really bad, you just need to
know when to use it. It's not the kind
of gross used in context with food, that
would be "mazui," but to say someone's
food is bad in front of them is
obviously disrespectful. "Kimoi" is for
creepy/gross things or people, and also
impolite. Like an creepy old drunk guy
on the bus hitting on you would be
"kimoi!" >.< Or if a really close friend
does something weird, jokingly "kimoi."[Comment by: Mii ]
this word was in a textbook 8 years
ago.. which means its pretty outdaded by
now[Comment by: dean ]

english![Comment by: Lola ]

japanese are very clean people, so
saying something like that would be a
pretty big slap in the face[Comment by: SteelGolem ]
Dude, have you ever gone outside the
busy areas of the city? I've seen tons
of places with garbage all around and in
their homes that looks like its been
there for months if not years! Yes, most
Japanese are very clean from what I've
seen, but there are always exceptions.[Comment by: Rob ]
