【No. 1676】Furyō (不良 - Rogue/Hood)

Furyō

Many furyō (不良) live in my hometown.

Fu (不) is a negative prefix and ryō (良) means "good," so the literal meaning of furyō is "not good."

This term is often used for products, data, or debt, to mean defective products, bad data, or bad debt, respectively.

On the other hand, it is also used as an abbreviation for furyō-kōi shōnen (不良行為少年).

Since kōi (行為) means "action" and shōnen (少年) means "boy," so the combination means "boys (or girls) who take bad actions."
不良

私の地元には、多くの「不良」が住んでいます。

「不」は否定の接頭辞、「良」は "good" を意味するので、「不良」の文字どおりの意味は "not good" です。

この言葉は、「製品」や「データ」、「債権」などに対してもよく使われます。

しかし、「不良行為少年」の略語として使われることもあります。

「行為」は "act、"「少年」は "boy" を意味するので、「不良行為少年」は "boys (or girls) who take bad actions0" を意味します。

    You don't need that second part :)

    If you use, "Since", then you don't need to use "so". Conversely, if you use "so", you don't need to use "Since.
