How to say "stripping" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 脱衣だついnoun, suru verb, intransitive verbCovers 'stripping' in its plain sense: the act of undressing, taking off one's clothes, as when changing or preparing for a bath. Think of it simply as 'undressing'.
- nounThe loanword for stripping as a show: removing clothes as an erotic performance, i.e. striptease. For plain undressing it is not the word you want — use 脱衣 instead.
Use 脱衣 when stripping just means undressing or taking off one's clothes; 「ストリップ」 is the katakana word for stripping as a performance — striptease — so reserve it for that sense.
