なぁぜなぁぜ

• 読み: なぁぜなぁぜ
• ローマ字: naaze naaze
• 発音: /naː.ze.naː.ze/

意味

'Why oh why~?' — a sarcastic TikTok trend phrase used to passive-aggressively question absurd situations.

なぁぜなぁぜ is a drawn-out, deliberately cute version of なぜ (naze, 'why'). It became a massive TikTok trend in 2023 where users would set up a situation, then ask なぁぜなぁぜ～？ in a sing-song voice. The humour lies in the passive-aggressive sarcasm: the speaker is not genuinely asking why, but sarcastically highlighting something obviously wrong or unfair. It works like 'gee, I wonder why~' in English.

例文

1. 毎日残業してるのに給料上がらないの、なぁぜなぁぜ？
2. 約束の時間に来ないの、なぁぜなぁぜ？
3. ダイエット中なのにケーキ食べちゃうの、なぁぜなぁぜ？
