Japanese Slang “Get scared”

「ビビる」(bibiru)

It means: to get scared, to get frightened

​

This is a slang way of saying “怖^こわがる."

​

We often use it in the form of “ビビってる” as “怖^こわい.”

And “ビビった。” means “I was surprised,” “I (almost) freaked out.”

​

Examples:

・ビビってるの？(Are you scared?)

・ビビらせないでよ！(Don’t scare me!)

・さっきドアがうまく開かなくてビビった。(I freaked out when I had trouble opening the door just a while ago.)
