- Stupid/Idiot/fool is the litteral translation but occasionally depending on the situation, it can be used as jerk. For example if someone is completely being an a total ass, you normally don't call them an idiot but in Japanese, it's common to use the word "Baka" in these occasions as well. Thus, jerk may not be the literal translation of baka, it's still acceptable. This is one thing I've learned over the years of doing translations & interpretations. | |||
