How to say "uneven" in Japanese

• 不揃いふぞろい
  no-adjective, na-adjectiveFor a set or row whose members fail to match — items of different lengths or sizes; it treats the mismatch as a state of the whole, though it is the less common pick.
• 揃わないそろわない
  i-adjectiveSays things do not match up: sizes unequal, a pair odd, a set incomplete. Being a negative verb form, it works as a predicate and is seldom the neatest way to render plain 'uneven'.
• 段違いだんちがいCommon
  no-adjectiveThe word for unevenness of height: two surfaces, edges, or sides that sit at different levels. Where 'uneven' means one part is literally higher than another, this common word is the natural pick.
• モコモコ
  no-adjective, adverb (with と), suru verbA mimetic word for lumpy, bumpy unevenness of texture — lumpy clothing, bulging muscles. Use it when 'uneven' is about a surface you can see and feel; it is vivid rather than neutral.

Pick 「不揃い」 for sets whose members fail to match, 「揃わない」 for the same idea as a negative verb, 「段違い」 for height differences, and 「モコモコ」 for lumpy, bumpy surfaces.
