＞ I am more terminally elderly than late, and I wrote about it in another topic

Double Kin Man, are you really terminally ill? "Terminal" is not a word used for the elderly, but for the sick. If you are really in the terminal stage, there is no hope for cure, so all you can do is die. You should have already been told how much time you have left to live. Is it because you are in the terminal stage that this will be your last pilgrimage? Even though he is still in his seventies. If the jet lag is too painful, go to the hospital. They may find something else wrong with you.

Is that so? Japanese is a difficult language. I used "terminal" because it is closer to "end stage" than "late stage."

Does the true Japanese term "terminal" mean that a person is bedridden and unable to speak or communicate anymore?


＞ If jet lag is too painful, go to the hospital

It is not painful at all. The only thing I can say is that the night after I returned home, I kept getting a big stream of liquid. I would say it was painful.

I think that "terminal" is an exaggerated interpretation of the word.

I looked it up in the SII Japanese dictionary and found that "terminal" means

＊ ＊ ＊ the end time, the last period, "medieval one" ↔ early. ＊ ＊ ＊

and it does not seem to be used merely for the sick. But it is often used as in "terminal symptoms," though.

So I will continue to use my age as

"terminally elderly" in the future, since my age is closer to "terminal" among the late-stage elderly. Well, it doesn't really matter.

Well, my brain is starting to rot, so I don't care what you call me or how you call me.

＞ My age is near the "end stage" of late-stage aging

I'm not near the end stage. I'm not at all.

According to 2022 statistics, the average life expectancy of a 75-year-old Japanese male is approximately 12 years. This means that half of Japanese men who have just entered the late elderly will die before the age of 87, and half will live to be over 87. If one were to divide the elderly into two groups, the early elderly and the late elderly, the borderline would be around age 87. Therefore, among the late-stage elderly, 79 years old is a young man. If Mr. Baikinman considers himself "terminal" for personal health reasons, he is free to do so, but it is certainly a mistake to uniformly label all 79-year-olds in the world as "terminally elderly".
