チョロい Easy, effortless
Have you heard the word チョロい (Choro-i)? It’s Japanese slang for something easy. Learning Japanese can be tricky with similar-sounding words, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes super チョロい (easy)!
So let’s get into it!
チョロい (Choro-i)
Easy, effortless
This word implies that something is easily achievable or not challenging.
Example Sentence
A: よくあの状況（じょうきょう）を乗（の）り切（き）ったね！
You did well to get through that situation!B: チョロい、チョロい。大（たい）したことなかったよ
Super easy, no big deal at all!
チャラい (Chara-i)
There are two nuances in this word.
1.Personality🕺: When describing a person, it often implies that they are insincere, not serious, or have a playboy/playgirl personality. This person might be seen as unreliable or only interested in surface-level interactions.
2.Appearance✨: It can also describe someone's appearance as being excessively flashy or showy, often with a negative connotation suggesting a lack of depth or substance.
Example Sentence
A: 結局（けっきょく）Tinderで会（あ）ったあの人（ひと）とはどうなったの？
How did it go with the guy you met on Tinder?B: めっちゃチャラかったからナシかな〜
He was really a playboy, so not for next time.
