【No. 2292】Gakuburu (ガクブル - Shivering)

Jan 30, 2024 13:54
Gakuburu

The Japanese expression gakuburu (ガクブル) describes the state of one's body shivering intensely due to fear or cold.

Gakuburu is short for gaku gaku buru buru (ガクガクブルブル), a combination of two onomatopoeic words gaku gaku (ガクガク) and buru buru (ブルブル).

Both gaku gaku and buru buru describe a small shiver due to fear or cold, but gaku gaku is more often used to express a stronger shiver.

By combining these two terms, you can express even stronger fear or cold.

Incidentally, it is sometimes written with the shivering emotion "((((;゜Д゜)))," or "gkbr" is sometimes used instead of gakuburu.
ガクブル

恐怖にや寒さに強く震えるさまを、「ガクブル」と表現することがあります。

「ガクブル」は、「ガクガク」と「ブルブル」の二つの擬態語を組み合わせた「ガクガクブルブル」の略語です。

「ガクガク」と「ブルブル」は、どちらも恐怖さ寒さなどで小刻みに震えるさまを表す擬態語ですが、「ガクガク」のほうが強い震えを表すことが多いです。

この二つを組み合わせることで、より強い恐怖や寒さを表しているというわけです。

「((((;゜Д゜)))」という顔文字を伴うことや、「gkbr」のようにさらに短縮して書かれることもあります。
