文法: Grammar a Day - Level 4 [ わざとらしい (pretending) ]

わざとらしい (pretending) - fake, pretending 

--- Notes ---
I ran into this grammar in a song I was translating.

it is a set phrase, using わざと　meaning intentionaly and らしい it
appears or it seems. to imply that what ever the case may be, it is being
faked. 

this is the kind of Japanese that is best wispered that spoken.
使ったら気を付けってね
