Translation guide
To stare at someone with obvious sexual interest, often in a way that is rude or makes the other person uncomfortable.
The core meaning: looking at someone in a sexually suggestive, often rude or creepy way.
A common, versatile phrase meaning to stare fixedly or rudely. When used in a context of sexual interest, it conveys 'ogle'. It can also be used for non-sexual staring, but context makes it clear.
彼は女性をじろじろ見ていた。
He was ogling the woman.
じろじろ見ないでください。
Please don't stare at me like that.
Slang for staring intensely, often with obvious attraction. More casual and direct than じろじろ見る.
あの人、ずっとこっちをガン見してるよ。
That person keeps ogling me.
Literally 'to look with lewd eyes'. Very explicit about the sexual nature of the stare. Can sound strong.
彼はいやらしい目で私を見た。
He ogled me with a lecherous look.
Very vivid expression meaning 'to look as if licking all over'. Strongly sexual and often used in literature or dramatic speech.
彼は彼女の体を舐め回すように見た。
He ogled her body as if licking it all over.
There is no single Japanese verb that perfectly matches 'ogle' in all contexts. Using じろじろ見る is the safest and most common way to express the idea. Avoid literal translations like '性的に見つめる' as they sound unnatural.
