ずかずか

zuka-zuka

Marching boldly / barging

Walking somewhere boldly and uninvited, without consideration for others. Heavier and more intrusive than simply walking in.

💡A boss walking into someone's office without knocking — 'He came zuka-zuka into my room.'

Example

彼は人の部屋にずかずかと入ってきた。

He barged zuka-zuka into my room.
