Descrição
1) ヤバい has several meanings. 1. dangerous, risky 2. terrible 3. amazing, cool 2) The mixture of two forms probably came out of comics. We often express a vulgar word using katakana and hiragana to look vulgar. 3) Even if someone says "yabai" to you, you won't tell what they mean cuz there are several meanings. So you have to guess in what meaning they use it.|I'll give you the best example to show the ambiguity of ヤバい. If a high school girl says "あの人ヤバくない?" looking at you , it can mean any of the following. "Isn't that guy so cute?!" "Isn't that guy creepy?!" "Isn't that guy strange?!"|It's all about context and similar to how the English word "sh*t" can be used both positively and negatively.|incredible shocked It's not formal|yabai is an exclamation :) you can use it if you want to exclaim good or bad.. ex: if someone gives you an unexpected gift you can say yabai|Great explanations!!|。
