Meaning

Primary

Delicate

Alternatives

Faint, Indistinct, Dim

Word Type

な adjective

Explanation

The kanji is delicate, and the vocab has this meaning too. It's that kind of "subtle" delicate, not so much that something will break (like it is with the kanji). Something that is a bit faint and indistinct is going to be delicate in this sense, perhaps, too.

Reading

  • Kyoko

  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

If you're going to cuss (かす) up a storm, that's not really being delicate.
