English Explanation

The correct reading にぶい is the standard kun'yomi for 鈍. のぶい, どんい, and にぷい are all incorrect readings, representing mispronunciations or incorrect application of on'yomi. It means dull or blunt, referring to a lack of sharpness, responsiveness, or quickness, whether physically or mentally.

日本語解説

正しい読み「にぶい」は、鈍の訓読みです。「のぶい」「どんい」「にぷい」はすべて誤った読み方です。刃物や先端が鋭くない状態のほか、動作が遅い、感覚が劣る、頭の回転が悪いなど、様々な意味で「鋭くない」状態を表します。
