ぐにゃり

gunyari

Bending, wilting limply

Bending or sagging weakly without any firmness — overcooked noodles, wilted vegetables, or a drooping piece of pizza. Usually implies an undesirable limpness.

💡Picking up a slice of thin pizza — 'The pizza went gunyari and flopped over in my hand.'

Example

麺がぐにゃりと曲がって伸びてしまった。

The noodles went gunyari and became all stretched out.
