i-adjective
green; wet behind the ears; immature
Idiomatic expression describing someone as inexperienced, naive, or childish, often with a critical tone. The literal meaning 'smelling of milk' is rarely used outside of explaining the idiom.
彼はまだ乳臭いから、大事な仕事は任せられない。
He's still green, so I can't entrust him with important work.
そんな考え方は乳臭いよ。
That way of thinking is immature.
