Is there a difference between めんどうくさい and めんどくさい? (面倒くさい)


This is just a simple question, but I was wondering if there was a difference
between めんどうくさい and めんどくさい. One has a う in it. I guess this also relate to
others that are like this, is there a difference?




めんどくさい is simply a colloquial variant of めんどうくさい. In formal situations,
めんどうくさい or めんどうな is preferred. But in highly formal or academic contexts,
objective phrases like 時間を要する or 煩雑な would be better.
