「ざまあない」という表現を読んだことが多いですが、英語に翻訳すれば「ざまあみろ」と同じ意味になりますか？例えば「It serves you right」とか「You had it coming」と。
- Japanese
ちょっと違うかな。
ざまみろは、ヒドイ目にあって、いい気味だっていう、offensive な感じがあります。
ざまあないは、
それ見ろ言わんこっちゃないとか、
みっともなくて見ちゃいられない。
という感じ。

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Japanese
「ざま」は「様」（敬称ではなく、外見や様子の意味）のことです。
ざまあみろ（ざまを見ろ）→（自分の）今の（悪い）様子を見ろ
ざまあない（ざまはない）→その外見／様子はない→みっともない
という意味です。
「ざまあない」は自分に対しても使います。
（私が）こんな問題を間違えるなんて、ざまないね。
