使用パターン
基本的な形は「悪い（warui）」ですが、名詞を修飾する際は「悪い人（warui hito）」、述語として使う際は「天気が悪い（tenki ga warui）」となります。また、丁寧な謝罪として「悪かった（warukatta）」や、クッション言葉として「悪いんだけど（warui ndakedo）」という形もよく使われます。
一般的な文脈
日常会話では、体調不良を伝える際や、謝罪の気持ちを伝える際に多用されます。また、ビジネスシーンでは「悪い」という直接的な表現を避け、「よくない」「不適切だ」と言い換えることもあります。
類似語との比較
「ひどい」は「悪い」よりも程度が激しく、感情的なニュアンスが強いです。「不快」は主観的な不快感に焦点を当てており、より硬い表現です。「悪質」は特に道徳的・法的に問題がある場合に使われます。

Tips
Use for casual apologies

Avoid with superiors
Never use 'warui' to apologize to a boss or a stranger, as it sounds too informal and potentially disrespectful.
Contextual nuance
Japanese people often use 'warui' to soften a request, like 'Warui kedo, kore tanomu' (Sorry, but can you do this for me?).
어원
Derived from the classical Japanese verb 'waru' (to divide/split), implying something that is broken or divided from the standard.
문화적 맥락
In Japan, direct criticism is often avoided. Calling someone 'warui' is very strong, so it is rarely said directly to a person's face.
암기 팁
