You look to have learned Japanese a lot. Actually, however, 'shy' is rather 'hazukashi-garu' in our language. When a Japanese girl has a first date with you, the girl would hazukashigaru (be shy). We use 'hazukashii' to express our feeling that we have when we found we made a foolish mistake and we incline to reproach ourselves for that. The word 'hazi' itself is a word very difficult to explain. But I understand 'hazi' is a feeling one might have when they become conscious that they are unduly dishonored by other people or a feeling that one might have when they become conscious that they had made some serious mistake enough to know they themselves are guilty. So 'hazukashigaru', 'hazukashii'...http://www.englishforums.com/English/DoYouHaveHaveYouGot/3/qncn/Post.htm#83559Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:51:46 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:83559just the truth10http://www.englishforums.com/English/DoYouHaveHaveYouGot/3/qncn/Post.htm#83559http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-83559.xmlI understand what you are saying.

Hi Paco, I too understand the difficulties you face. And these words, as Mr P mentioned, are obviously not only culturally ordained but personally ordained. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't hazukashii able to extend all the way from 'shy to ashamed'. I think this highlights the problem of direct translation.
