manga - What does the word 「ぶったてる」mean?


Here is the sentence including the word.



このドヤがいの西{にし}のはずれにりっぱな総{そう}合{ごう}病{びょう}院{いん}をぶったてること!



Answer



「ぶったてる」=「ぶっ建{た}てる」


= "to build" or rather "to f***ing build" if one were to translate the nuance intended.


「ぶっ」 is a manly and slangy verb prefix that emphasizes the meaning of the verb. The core meaning of the verb itself stays the same even if the prefix is added.

Related verb prefixes for emphasis:


「おっ」、「かっ」、「つっ」、「つん」、「とっ」、「ひっ」、「ひん」、「ぶち」、「ぶん」、「ふっ」, etc. There might be a few more.
