じゃん
jan
🇯🇵 Japanese slang from Tokyo
What does “じゃん” mean?
…right?, …isn't it!
Example
“その服、いいじゃん！”
sono fuku, ii jan!
That outfit's nice!
Good to know
The Tokyo-area way to end a sentence with 'right?'. Kansai says やん.
Who you can say it to
With friends, not your boss
☕ Everyday
The textbook way to say it: 〜じゃないですか
Heard in a conversation
First day at the part-time job
Mio ぶっちゃけ、めんどい。店長がマジで鬼厳しい。
Honestly, such a hassle. The manager is seriously insanely strict.
Ren うわ、ブラックじゃん。辞めたら？
Ugh, that's an exploitative place, isn't it. Why not quit?
Mio 無理。金欠だし、推しのライブの課金もあるし。
No way. I'm broke, and I've got my fave's concert to pay for.
