Butsu (Stuff)

Mar 2, 2017 21:01
Today I will talk about the slang term "butsu."

"Butsu" is one of pronunciations of "物," which means "things," and it is used as a pronoun to indicate some kind of things literally

When you want to refer to general things, "物" is read as "mono," but if you read it as "butsu" in on-yomi (Chinese readings), it will mean "antisocial things" or "illegal things" in most cases.

For example, there are drugs, stimulants, guns, and etc. as subjects that are called "butsu."

Also, "薬," which means drugs or medicine, is usually read as "kusuri," but if you read it as "yaku" in on-yomi, it will especially mean illicit drugs or stimulants.
ブツ

今日は「ブツ」という俗語を紹介します。

「ブツ」は「物」の音読みで、字のとおり、何らかの物品を表す代名詞として用いられます。

一般的な物を指す場合は「物」を「もの」と読みますが、「反社会的な物品」や「違法性のある物品」を指す場合は「ブツ」と読むことが多いです。

「ブツ」と呼ぶ対象としては、麻薬や覚醒剤、拳銃などがあります。

また、「薬(くすり)」を「ヤク」と音読みすると、薬の中でも特に麻薬や覚醒剤を指すことが多いです。

    It's more natural to contract things that can be contracted.
    -->it is = it's
    -->do not = don't
    -->is not = isn't
    etc.
