まぶしい
When something is まぶしい (mabushii), it means it's dazzling or glaring. Imagine stepping outside on a very sunny day and the sun is so bright it makes you squint – that feeling is mabushii. Or, if a car's headlights are shining directly into your eyes at night, that's also mabushii. It's used when light is too bright for your eyes to comfortably look at. So, think of it as 'too bright' or 'blinding'.

You'll often hear it used for things like sunlight reflecting off snow or water, or a very strong spotlight.

§ Understanding まぶしい (mabushii)
Let's talk about the Japanese adjective まぶしい (mabushii). This word is super common and you'll hear it a lot in everyday conversations. It means 'dazzling,' 'glaring,' or 'too bright.' Think of a bright light that makes you squint.
- DEFINITION
- Dazzling; glaring; too bright (light).
§ まぶしい at Work
You might not think of 'dazzling' at work, but it definitely comes up. Imagine you're in an office with a big window, or dealing with bright screens.
- Dealing with sunlight: If the sun is streaming into your office window too brightly, you could say:
窓から光がまぶしいですね。(Mado kara hikari ga mabushii desu ne.)
(The light from the window is dazzling, isn't it?)
- Talking about screens: Sometimes, a monitor can be too bright.
このPCの画面、ちょっとまぶしいな。(Kono PC no gamen, chotto mabushii na.)
(This PC screen is a little too bright.)
§ まぶしい at School
In a school setting, まぶしい can also be used. Think about sports, outdoor activities, or even looking at something on a projector.
- During outdoor sports: If you're playing sports outside on a sunny day, the sun can be quite strong.
太陽がまぶしいから、帽子をかぶろう。(Taiyou ga mabushii kara, boushi o kaburou.)
(The sun is dazzling, so let's wear hats.)
- Looking at a projector: Sometimes, a projector can be set too bright.
プロジェクターの光がまぶしくて、目が疲れる。(Purojekutaa no hikari ga mabushiku te, me ga tsukareru.)
(The projector light is too bright, and my eyes get tired.)
§ まぶしい in the News and Media
While 'まぶしい' might not be a headline word, you'll certainly encounter it in descriptions, especially for things related to visuals or even metaphorical 'brightness'.
- Describing a scene: A news report might describe a sunny event or a bright performance.
真夏の太陽がまぶしく、多くの観客が日差しを避けていました。(Manatsu no taiyou ga mabushiku, ooku no kankaku ga hizashi o sakete imashita.)
(The midsummer sun was dazzling, and many spectators were avoiding the sunlight.)
- Figurative use: Sometimes, it's used to describe someone's brilliance or potential, especially in sports or entertainment news.
彼の将来はまぶしい光に満ちている。(Kare no shourai wa mabushii hikari ni michite iru.)
(His future is filled with dazzling light.) This is a more poetic usage, but you might see it in articles praising a young talent.
§ Key Takeaways for まぶしい
Understanding where and how to use まぶしい naturally will really boost your Japanese. It's not just about light; it's about the intensity of that light and its effect. Practice using it when you encounter bright situations in your daily life.
§ まぶしい vs 明るい
When you're talking about light, two common adjectives come up: まぶしい (mabushii) and 明るい (akarui). While both relate to brightness, they have distinct uses.
- DEFINITION
- まぶしい (mabushii): Dazzling, glaring, too bright (light). It implies an uncomfortable or overpowering brightness that makes it difficult to see.
- DEFINITION
- 明るい (akarui): Bright, well-lit, cheerful. It describes a pleasant or sufficient level of brightness, or a person's demeanor.
Here's how to think about them:
- Use まぶしい when the light is so bright it hurts your eyes or makes you squint.
- Use 明るい when the light is simply abundant and allows you to see clearly, or to describe a well-lit room or a cheerful person.
太陽がまぶしいので、目を細めた。
The sun was dazzling, so I squinted.
この部屋はとても明るい。
This room is very bright.
§ まぶしい vs 光る (ひかる)
You might also encounter 光る (hikaru), a verb meaning "to shine" or "to glitter." While it relates to light, it's different from まぶしい.
- DEFINITION
- 光る (hikaru): To shine, to glitter, to sparkle. This verb describes the act of emitting or reflecting light.
The key difference is that まぶしい is an adjective describing the quality of light (its intensity), while 光る is a verb describing the action of light.
星が空で光っている。
The stars are shining in the sky.
§ Figurative use of まぶしい
Beyond literal light, まぶしい can also be used figuratively to describe something or someone that is so brilliant, splendid, or attractive that it's almost overwhelming or captivating.
彼女の笑顔はとてもまぶしい。
Her smile is so dazzling (captivating).
若者のエネルギーはまぶしい。
The energy of youth is dazzling (brilliant/overpowering).
In these cases, you're not talking about physical light, but rather a powerful impression that is almost too much to take in, similar to how an intensely bright light can be.
Wusstest du?
This word can also be used metaphorically to describe someone so brilliant or beautiful they 'dazzle' you.

While 'mabushii' means 'bright,' it specifically implies 'too bright' or 'dazzling,' not just generally bright like 'akarui'.
Something that is 'shining' (hikaru) might be 'mabushii,' but 'mabushii' focuses on the intense, uncomfortably bright aspect, not just the act of emitting light.
These refer to a surface quality that reflects light, making it look sleek or polished. 'Mabushii' is about the intensity of the light itself, not the texture of a surface.

Often confused with other words related to light or brightness, but 'mabushii' specifically refers to a light source that is uncomfortably bright or dazzling.
While other words might describe something as 'bright' or 'shining,' 'mabushii' carries the nuance of being too bright, to the point of causing discomfort or making one squint.

Both relate to light, but 'akarui' describes general brightness, a well-lit environment, or even a cheerful personality.
'Akarui' is a broader term for 'bright.' A room can be 'akarui' (well-lit) without being 'mabushii' (dazzling). 'Mabushii' is a specific kind of 'akarui' that's excessive.
部屋が明るい。 (The room is bright.)
This word also relates to brightness and brilliance, but often carries a more metaphorical or celebratory meaning.
'Kagayakashii' often describes something splendid, glorious, or brilliant in a grand sense, like a 'brilliant future' or 'glorious achievements.' While it implies brightness, it's not typically used for a light source physically hurting your eyes.

まぶしい (mabushii) is an adjective used to describe light that is excessively bright, to the point of being uncomfortable or blinding. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something brilliant or glorious, though this is less common in everyday conversation.
Examples:
太陽がまぶしいですね。 (Taiyou ga mabushii desu ne.)
Hint: The sun is…
雪の反射で目がまぶしい。 (Yuki no hansha de me ga mabushii.)
Hint: My eyes are… from the reflection of the snow.
A common mistake is confusing まぶしい (mabushii) with 明るい (akarui), which simply means 'bright' or 'light' in a neutral sense. まぶしい (mabushii) specifically carries the nuance of too bright or dazzling, implying discomfort or an overwhelming quality.
For example:
明るい部屋 (akarui heya) means 'a bright room.'
まぶしい部屋 (mabushii heya) would mean 'a dazzling/glaring room,' implying the light is uncomfortably strong.

Wortherkunft
From 'まぶし' (mabushi), an old Japanese word meaning 'dazzling.'
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: Dazzling; glaring.
JaponicKultureller Kontext
When a Japanese person says something is 'mabushii,' it's often a direct observation about the brightness, but it can also subtly convey admiration for something exceptionally beautiful or impressive, much like saying 'radiant' in English. It evokes a strong sensory experience. This term is frequently used in media to describe idols or scenery that are exceptionally bright or beautiful, highlighting its dual usage.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 Fragenまぶしい specifically means "dazzling" or "glaring." It's about light that's *too* bright, making you squint or look away. "Bright" in English can be used for any level of light. So, a well-lit room is bright, but not necessarily まぶしい. A light that blinds you is まぶしい.
Yes, you can! While its primary meaning is about light, まぶしい can also be used metaphorically. For example:
彼女の笑顔はまぶしい。 (Her smile is dazzling/radiant.)
彼の活躍はまぶしかった。 (His performance was brilliant/dazzling.)
It conveys a sense of overwhelming brightness or brilliance.
The kanji for まぶしい is 眩しい. You'll often see it written in hiragana (まぶしい), especially in general conversation or less formal writing.
まぶしい is an i-adjective, so it conjugates like other i-adjectives. Here are some examples:
太陽がまぶしい。 (The sun is dazzling.)
まぶしい光。 (Dazzling light.)
朝日はまぶしかった。 (The morning sun was dazzling.) - Past tense
まぶしくない。 (It's not dazzling.) - Negative
A common use is to describe something that is so brilliant or wonderful it's almost overwhelming, like:
まぶしいばかりの笑顔。 (An overwhelmingly radiant smile.)
まぶしいばかりの才能。 (Dazzling talent.)
The ばかり here emphasizes the degree.
Not inherently. It describes a strong light. If that strong light is uncomfortable, then it can feel negative. But it can also describe something beautiful and brilliant, like a radiant smile or a fantastic achievement, which is positive.
Since まぶしい is an i-adjective, you can make it polite by adding です. For example:
太陽がまぶしいです。 (The sun is dazzling.)
その光はまぶしいです。 (That light is dazzling.)
Yes, you can! When describing a person's personality, it means they are brilliant, radiant, or have a dazzling presence. It usually implies a very positive and outstanding quality.
彼はいつもまぶしい存在だ。 (He's always a brilliant presence.)
There isn't a direct opposite that means 'not dazzling' in the same way. However, words like 暗い (くらい - dark) or 薄暗い (うすぐらい - dim, gloomy) would be considered antonyms in terms of light intensity.
まぶしい is quite common in both formal and informal speech. Its usage depends more on the situation and what you are describing rather than the formality level. You'll hear it in everyday conversations and see it in written works.
