タルい
의미: Lazy, tedious, or can't be bothered — a 90s youth variation of だるい with a more dismissive edge.
タルい is a shortened, punchier version of だるい that emerged from 1990s youth culture. It strips away the physical tiredness connotation and leans into pure 'I can't be bothered' territory. Writing it in katakana (タルい) gives it an extra layer of casual attitude. While less common than だるい in everyday speech today, it still pops up among people who grew up in the 90s or those going for a retro vibe.
