    Example Word

    尻: buttocks. The Japanese noun '尻 (しり)' primarily refers to the 'buttocks' or 'rear end'. It is a common and straightforward term used in everyday language. However, it can also carry additional meanings depending on the context, such as the 'bottom' or 'end' of something (e.g., the end of a road or a piece of clothing). For example: He fell on his buttocks「彼は尻をついた」(かれはしりをついた). The bottom of the box is broken「箱の尻が壊れている」(はこのしりがこわれている). While the word is not inherently vulgar, it is best used in informal or casual settings. In formal contexts, alternative terms like '臀部 (でんぶ)' might be more appropriate.
