Memory Hook
Imagine someone being so annoying that you shout 'Ugh, so loud!' — it sounds like 『うるさい』 (urusai, 'annoying'). 'Ugh-loud-sigh' → うるさい (urusai, 'annoying').
Cultural Note
In Japan, 『うるさい』 (urusai, 'annoying') is often used to describe noisy or bothersome situations, such as loud neighbors or persistent questions. It can be considered rude if said directly to someone, so it's often softened in polite conversation.
