Questions & Answers about onchi demo, senkyoku de saiten no kekka ga kawaru.

What does 音痴 mean here?

音痴 (おんち) literally has to do with being “bad with pitch,” and in everyday use it usually means tone-deaf or bad at singing.

In a sentence like this, it often implies:

• someone who does not sing accurately
• someone who is not good at matching pitch
• more casually, a poor singer

So 音痴でも is roughly “even if you’re tone-deaf” or “even if you’re bad at singing.”

Why is でも used here? Doesn’t でも usually mean but?

Yes, でも can mean but, but not in this sentence.

Here, でも comes after a noun: 音痴でも. In that pattern, it means something like:

• even if it is...
• even for...
• even when someone is...

So 音痴でも means:

• even if you’re tone-deaf
• even for someone who is tone-deaf

This is different from sentence-initial でも meaning but.

Is there an omitted subject in 音痴でも?
