I didn't know that. It's difficult word. I think most Japanese don't know the word. We don't use "如才ない" in a conversation. Did you see the word in a novel? I looked up "如才ない" in the dictionary. I should memorize it... :P

Really? My coworker told me it was a good word. I'll keep in mind that no one uses it! Hee.

We do use this.

"Kare wa josainai ne".

I'll try to remember the word.
