うんちが好き
unchi ga suki
To say "I like poop" in Japanese, use うんちが好き (unchi ga suki), a casual sentence built on the childlike word for poop.
うんちが好き is a silly, playful sentence, the kind of thing a small child or a joking friend might say. うんち is the soft, kid-friendly word for poop, so the sentence sounds goofy rather than crude.
What does it mean word for word?
うんち (unchi) means poop. が (ga) is the particle that marks what is liked. 好き (suki) means liked or fond of.
Which one should you use?
うんちが好きなんだ。 is a colloquial version that sounds like you are explaining or admitting it. 個人的にはうんちが好きです。 means personally, I like poop, in a polite tone. 個人的にはうんちが好きだよ。 says the same thing informally.
How does it change in a sentence?
好き describes a liking, so the thing you like is marked with が rather than an object particle. Adding です at the end, as in 個人的にはうんちが好きです, makes the sentence polite.
How do you pronounce it?
It is pronounced unchi ga suki. The u in suki is very soft and often almost silent.
Did you know?
- Japanese culture has a tradition of 'lucky' poop, such as the 金運 ('money luck') associated with certain poop-shaped charms or emojis.
- The word うんち (unchi) is often used in Japanese media and songs to make a topic feel much softer and more 'kawaii' or cute than the actual subject matter might suggest.
- While うんち is cute, using the word 糞 (kuso) would change the sentence from a silly joke to a vulgar or aggressive statement.
