Example Word

不便: inconvenient. The Japanese adjectival noun '不便 (ふべん)' means 'inconvenient'. It is used to describe situations, objects, or circumstances that are not easy to use, lack practicality, or cause difficulty. For example: This area is inconvenient because there are no shops「この地域は不便です、お店がないから」(このちいきはふべんです、おみせがないから). The train schedule is inconvenient for me「電車のスケジュールは不便です」(でんしゃのすけじゅーるはふべんです). Note that '不便' is often used to express dissatisfaction or frustration with a lack of convenience.
