ダラダラ
Significado: Being lazy and unproductive; dragging on endlessly; dripping or sweating profusely.
ダラダラ describes a state of sluggish inactivity or something that continues without purpose. When describing a person, it means lounging around doing nothing productive — watching TV, scrolling your phone. For events or meetings, ダラダラ長い means they drag on pointlessly. It can also describe physical dripping — sweat running down, or a runny nose. Unlike ゴロゴロ which can feel cozy, ダラダラ often carries a self-critical or negative tone.
