- 怒りいかりnounThe general word for anger, covering 'wrath' across its full range of intensity, from ordinary anger to rage and fury. In most contexts where English uses 'wrath', this is the word to choose.
Choose 「怒り」 for 'wrath' in almost any context, since it covers anger of every intensity up to rage and fury; use 怒気 for anger as a palpable feeling or air about a person.
