| | cdo4 | #5729 and #5730 are a dialogue taken from the TV show "London Hearts." The host calls one of the girls "cute-ish" and she snaps back at him with #5730. | | | Miki | その話しは、うそっぽい The story is too goo to be true.
愚痴っぽい、飽きっぽい、熱っぽい、忘れっぽい、理屈っぽい いかにも＊＊＊＊という感じ
かわいいっぽい might be created recently. | | | blabby | I never really knew why people say 風邪気味 and 熱っぽい. I used to always make the mistake of saying "風邪っぽい". | | | Miki | "風邪っぽい" might be wrong but people including me use the expression. | | | The General | This is in my JLPT 2-kyuu grammar book but it is not listed as 2-kyuu grammar on this site. | | | Nihonjin | Isn't かわいいっぽい (ex #5729) wrong? From the notes at the top of this page: "いＡ(minus い) + っぽい". So it should be かわいっぽい, right? | | | sky | Somebody knows the meaning of あぶらっぽい? | | | KWhazit | あぶら is fat or oil... っぽい is an -ish kind of meaning... so あぶらっぽい is fatty or greasy (often used to describe food) | | |
