How it's used
While 裸體 is the standard term for being nude, it sounds quite clinical or formal in casual conversation. People often prefer using the more descriptive phrase 唔着衫 or the slang term 剝光豬 when talking about someone being undressed in daily life. Using 裸體 in a casual setting can sound slightly dramatic or like a news report.
Examples
He actually walks around naked at home.
Have you ever tried being naked at the beach?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse 裸體 with 剝光豬, as the latter is a vivid, informal expression that specifically implies someone has taken off all their clothes, often used in a humorous or teasing way.
