How do I say "to be fat/skinny" in Japanese? How do I say "to be fat/skinny" in Japanese? When I searched on the internet I found multiple words to say fat (太っている//ふくぶくしい//恰幅がいい//貫禄がある//とても体格がいい。。。) and skinny (痩せた//細い//スリム。。。). Are all these words commonly used in Japanese?

There are various ways of say them: to be skinny やせている (the most common)、細い、スリムな、etc *引き締まっている/引き締まった is used for "to be slim and muscular". to be fat 太っている (the most common)、ポッチャリしている (sounds a bit cute)、恰幅が良い (mainly for men)、貫禄がある、etc *We don't say ふくぶくしい, at least I don't. 体格が良い is also used for "to be muscular". **There also are some insults that I didn't write. I hope this helps you.
