How to say "senseless" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- na-adjective, nounCovers 'senseless' as reckless, wanton, wildly unreasonable — behavior, plans, or situations lacking order or logic. It and むちゃくちゃ are variant pronunciations of one word; neither means 'unconscious'.
- na-adjectiveA variant pronunciation of the same word as めちゃくちゃ, covering the same 'senseless' sense. It also works as an intensifier meaning 'awfully' or 'extremely', pointing to excess and irrationality rather than unconsciousness.
These two are variant pronunciations of a single word, so either serves 'senseless' in its reckless, wanton, wildly excessive sense; neither translates the 'unconscious' or 'numb' senses of English 'senseless'.
