返信削除I think "めんどい" is "troublesome".
But, people say "たいぎい" in Hiroshima.
How dou you think "めんどい" and "たいぎい" are same meaning?

Hello!
返信削除As you say, I think うざい and 面倒くさい are difficult to translate, too.
Japanese has some unclear feelings that can't translate in English.
I think Japanese has various ways to express one feeling!
