"Yabai" refers to a status some "dangerness" to the subject of the action is approaching. "Mazui" is rather a static expression that merely refers to be "unfavorable." Thus "Yabai" status can be "Mazui," but not all "Mazui" status can be expressed as "Yabai." In the above post KungFu boy drew an example of "Mazui" in a conversation with his colleague. Can you readers tell the difference if the Mazui is replaced with "Yabai?" "Kon'na joukyou ni naruto yabai desu yo ne-" (In English, it should be translated as "This situation would bring an destructive end to all!") "Kon'na joukyou ni naruto mazui desu yo ne-" (English: "The situation like this is very unfavorable.") And note that both words are highly colloq. expressions, you shouldn't use them in a formal writing nor even in a formal speech. And as far as "-Ya HanDa" in Korean concerns, "Seneba naranai" sounds very historic when spoken, thus that's very much prefered in debates or in academic papers, agitation, etc. Some of "-Ya HanDa" can possibly be translated as "Subekida," but I don't believe it is the first place translation in the dictionary. And this is from my personal experience: Japanese language learners whose native language is Korean tend to use very definitive style. That relates to the differences between Japanese "Keigo" and Korean "GyunhEo," like "Mitekudasai" would be translated as "BoSeYo," but "BoSeYo" may many times by Korean speakers translated as "Minasai." A question: translate each into Korean. "Son'na koto, mou yameru no ga iinja nai?" "Son'na koto, mou yamenakya ikenaiyo."
