In Korean, what does “Aish!” mean?

Question

Alright, so.I’ve been wondering this for a while … I’m very into a Korean band, and so many times I’ve heard the expression, “Aish!” From them.In a recent NG I saw, one of them said it and then said, “Ah, sorry, I said sh**!”So, I apologize for the crude language, but really. I’ve heard that it’s a sigh of exasperation, and then I’ve also heard that it is a “bad word” and is the equivalent of “sh**” in the English language.Does anyone know for sure?

아이씨….뭐야(common girl saying) = Oh come on, that’s not trueif someone says 아이씨 젠장 (Aisshi jenjahng) = crap darnIt doesn’t really have a direct translation imo. If you use it when you’re frustrated then it is a bad word but you need the context to know whether the word makes it a bad word or not. The first case when a girl used isn’t too bad. If you use the F word per se, it will always be a bad word. Aisshi is a type of word where it depends on the context. Hope it helps.

AISH doesn’t mean “s*hit”. “shee-bahl” means s*hit. lolAISH is more like… “ah crap!” or.. “oh no!”It IS a sigh of exasperation. It’s a huge “sigh”.examples: Aish! I just missed the bus!Aish! I just got robbed by a 10 year old!
