セルフィー

せるふぃー

noun

selfie

1. selfie; self-taken photo

A photograph one takes of oneself, usually with a smartphone. Borrowed from English and used mainly in fashion, beauty, and social-media writing; in everyday Japanese 自撮(じど)り is far more common.

友達(ともだち)とセルフィーを撮(と)った。

I took a selfie with a friend.

セルフィーが上手(じょうず)に撮(と)れるアプリを使(つか)っている。

I use an app that takes good selfies.

展望台(てんぼうだい)で、街(まち)の夜景(やけい)を背景(はいけい)にセルフィーを撮(と)った。

At the observation deck, I took a selfie with the city's night view behind me.

From English 'selfie'. It reads as somewhat stylish or media-flavored; a learner who wants the neutral everyday word should use 自撮(じど)り.

Common collocations

セルフィーを撮(と)る: to take a selfie
セルフィー動画(どうが): a self-filmed video
セルフィーを投稿(とうこう)する: to post a selfie
