Dictionary/Jhakaas

झक्कासJhakaas/jʱʌkːɑːs/

Meaning

Jhakaas is a popular slang term in informal Nepali, especially among youth, heavily influenced by Indian Hindi/Urdu and Marathi slang (from "jhakaas" meaning "awesome" or "top-class"). It is used to describe something or someone that is excellent, impressive, stylish, or extremely cool — equivalent to English expressions like "lit," "sick," "fire," or "amazing." It’s commonly used to praise appearance, performance, attitude, or possessions: While not vulgar or offensive, "झक्कास" is highly informal and rooted in urban, pop-culture speech. It's often heard in casual conversations, social media, music, and youth-centric environments. The word adds flair and enthusiasm, and is generally positive in tone.
