hello Davrous~ "暧昧" means "ambiguous,equivocal", or "dubious; shady; secret",for example: 1.He takes an ambiguous stand on this matter. 在这个问题上，他的态度暧昧(模糊)。 2.a dubious relationship 暧昧关系 we often use "暧昧" to describe a relationship, "暧昧" can be neutral or negative,it depends,for example: The couple divorced because of the man's affair/new relationship with another woman. 那对夫妇离婚是由于男方与另一个女人有暧昧关系。 it can be neutral when we use "暧昧" on one special relationship,which is more than friendship but not love,or hasn't developed into one real relationship. it's just like Cynthia said.

暧昧 [àimèi] 1. adjective [含糊] vague 2. adjective [关系] ambiguous e.g. Their relationship is somewhat ambiguous, it is convoluted like hemp vines.

是一种很特别的男女朋友关系，存在于友情之间，又超然于友情之上。

男女肉体关系还处于想象阶段。 男女关系还未发展到恋人关系，但是行为举止和恋人关系差不多。

1:Are more than a spot love, are less than a spot the friendship the relations 2:Improper relations haha,I think so
