To gripe/whine/complain Explanation: "To gripe" and "to whine" are probably the best way to say this, since "to complain" can also mean 「文句をいう」, which is a little different. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-17 01:48:53 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ぐち (guchi) means ¥"complaint,¥" but with the nuance that it isn¥'t a formal complaint, it¥'s more like empty complaining/whining/griping.¥" The kanji is 愚痴 こぼす (零す) literally means ¥"to spill.¥" |
