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.
He was ogling the woman.
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.
That person keeps ogling me.
Literally 'to look with lewd eyes'. Very explicit about the sexual nature of the stare. Can sound strong.
Very vivid expression meaning 'to look as if licking all over'. Strongly sexual and often used in literature or dramatic speech.
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.
He ogled me with a lecherous look.
He ogled her body as if licking it all over.
