What is another word for hara-kiri?
Pronunciation: [hˈɑːɹəkˈi͡əɹi] (IPA) 
Hara-kiri is a traditional Japanese term that is used to describe a suicidal act that involves the use of a sharp blade to pierce the abdomen and rip it open. However, due to the negative connotations associated with the term, people are often reluctant to use it. Therefore, there are other synonyms that can be used to describe similar acts of self-harm. Some of these synonyms include "seppuku," "suppuku," and "harakiri." Each of these terms is a variation of the same concept and is often used interchangeably. In modern times, the act of taking one's life in this way is rare and is considered taboo in most cultures.
