ふざける (fuzakeru)

The word "ふざける" (fuzakeru) is a Japanese verb meaning "play", "joke" or "cheat". However, when used in a context of frustration or irritation, it can have a meaning closer to "fuck you" or "fucking".

For example, if someone is irritated by someone else's childish behavior, they might say "ふざけるな" (fuzakeru na). While not as offensive as "fuck you", it is a harsh expression and is considered rude if used in formal situations or with people you don't know well.

The verb “Fuck” in Japanese

ハメハメ / ハメる

The Japanese expression "Hamehame" (ハメハメ) can be translated as fuck and derives from the verb "Hameru" (嵌める) which means to fit, stick, put inside.

If written in Katakana, this verb refers to the sexual act, it is a vulgar and quite colloquial slang. Both words are frequent in the world of adult manga and anime.

The repetition of the verb refers to the act of fitting together repeating itself, but it is common in the Japanese language to repeat words for emphasis, looking a lot like an onomatopoeia.

パコる (pakoru)

"パコる" (pakoru) is Japanese slang for "having sex" or "getting laid". This word is quite informal and can be considered vulgar. As a slang term, it may not be understood by all Japanese speakers, especially those unfamiliar with colloquial jargon.

犯る (yaru) is a Japanese verb with multiple meanings depending on the context. Some possible translations include "do", "perform", "give", or "accomplish". Although "yaru" can be used in neutral and harmless contexts to describe various actions, in some cases it can have sexual connotations.

When used with a sexual connotation, "犯る" (yaru) can mean "to have sex" or "to have sex", similar to "パコる" (pakoru). However, "yaru" is considered slightly less vulgar than "pakoru".

Be careful, as the same ideograms can be used to write the verb "犯る" (okasu) which means "violate" or "sexually abuse". This word has a very negative connotation and is used to describe criminal and violent acts.
