In Japanese what does baka mean?

Question:


i think it means something they say when they're angry or upset...that's what i usually hear them say it

Answer:


It means "stupid."

It's not quite as harsh as in English though.

I've heard Japanese teachers call students "baka". I still thought it was going a bit overboard, but they didn't have the intent to be so condescending.

A lot of friends will jokingly use it with each other.
