This is a discussion about 不了見

not recommended

not sure if anyone will see this, but if you searched up "bad idea" and found this, please find a different word. I asked about this in a JP-EN exchange server and a native speaker said "I've never seen that word and it has zero hits on Massif so I'm going to tentatively suggest that it's not appropriate in perhaps any situation". My situation was character A telling character B (who is thinking of buying a cheap phone) that its a bad idea, and the previously mentioned native speaker said "if you want to tell someone to abandon an idea they have, e.g. you think the person you're talking to is already planning to buy a cheap one, you can use やめたほうがいい
e.g. 安いのはやめたほうがいい", so hopefully that helps you somewhat

jodb, another dictionary sites, will show you a list of works in its database that contain a word. There are thousands of works in the database, but this word only appears in 10, 7 of which are from aozora bunko, which is the collection of public domain works that are old enough their copyright has expired.

So yeah, not something a learner should probably ever use, but just finding random words here is probably never recommended for coming up with expressions in everyday life.
