A person who loves alcohol and drinks frequently
A term used to describe a person who likes to drink heavily or who drinks frequently, as if it were a person’s name.
It is important to understand that this word is not a compliment, as it also carries the image of a person who drinks sloppily.
It’s Nonbe to read in Japanese
It is important to remember that this word is not used as a compliment.
It may be acceptable to say “I am a nonbe” in a self-deprecating manner, or to say “You are really a nonbe” in a friendly manner.
This is fine when speaking to close friends.
However, saying “nonbe” to someone you are not close to may give the impression of being slightly rude.
In such cases, it is better to say “shugo” or “you like drink, don’t you?”
These words are used when drinking alcohol and are not commonly used in modern Japan, so foreigners can use them without any problems. In fact, if you follow the drinking style, it will be received favorably.
However, refrain from drinking too much and getting sick or causing trouble.
