正直しょうじき vs. ぶっちゃけ: Magical Words to Get New Friends

Have you heard about “正直しょうじき” and “ぶっちゃけ” from native speakers? And did you get it at the time? These magical words are used to get along with people because after using “正直しょうじき” and “ぶっちゃけ”, you have to tell the truth to them. Let me introduce how you correctly use “正直しょうじき” and “ぶっちゃけ” today!

正直しょうじき / ぶっちゃけ

Honestly or To be honest / I’m not gonna lie.

Although “正直しょうじき” and “ぶっちゃけ” are almost the same meaning, they have subtle differences. “正直しょうじき” means “Honestly or To be honest” and “ぶっちゃけ” means “I’m not gonna lie”, however, “ぶっちゃけ” is one of the slangs. So it has been normally used by students. If you are already an adult, I’d recommend you might want to use “正直しょうじき” instead of “ぶっちゃけ”. However, “正直しょうじき” is not that formal, everybody could use it both in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “正直しょうじき好すきじゃないよ。(To be honest, I don’t like it.)” as casual and “正直しょうじき好すきではありません。(To be honest, I don’t like it.)” as formal. Furthermore, “正直しょうじき” and “ぶっちゃけ” are used as both a positive and negative meaning such as “正直しょうじき/ぶっちゃけ、最近さいきん彼氏かれしできたんだ。(Honestly/I’m not gonna lie, recently I’ve got my boyfriend.)” as the positive meaning and “正直しょうじき/ぶっちゃけ、最近さいきん彼氏かれしと別わかれたんだ。(Honestly/I’m not gonna lie, recently I’ve broken with my boyfriend.)” as the negative meaning.
