thumb|Clothing which is short or transparent is a typical element in works considered in the West as ecchi.
is a slang term in the Japanese language for playfully sexual actions. As an adjective, it is used with the meaning of "sexy", "dirty" or "naughty"; as a verb, means "to have sex", and as a noun, it is used to describe someone of lascivious behavior. It is softer than the Japanese word '' ( from "Eros" or "erotic"), and does not imply perversion in the way hentai does.
