既読(きどく)する means “mark as read.” This verb is used for social media messages like LINE and Instagram.
But, what is 既読(きどく)スルー meaning?
It sounds almost the same as 既読(きどく)する.
“既読(きどく)スルー” and “既読(きどく)する” sounds pretty similar, but these two have a different meaning.
Definition
スルー = ignore, brush off
Is it true that “スルー” is originally from “through”??
Yes, I know “through” does not mean “ignore.” “スルー” is Japanese English.
The reason why “スルー” became “ignore” is
“through” → “through something” → “through something without touch” → “ignore”
And 既読(きどく)スルー is a noun. When you make it a verb, you can say “既読(きどく)スルーする.”
Oh, it is hard to say…
既読(きどく)スルー is slang. You can use this with your friends without any problem. However, when you are in a polite situation or talking with an older person, you can say
“返信(へんしん)が来(こ)ない,”
(I do not get a reply)
