IPA guide

Other forms: haziest; hazier

If it's hazy, it's definitely not clear — there's fog, mist, smoke or something like that blurring the view.

Hazy usually describes a sky that's fogged over or otherwise unclear. But if you're feeling a little uncertain or unsure about something, with only a bleary outline in your mind, you could say you're a bit hazy on the details.
