Japanese
English
Pronunciation
- IPA: /ˌʤæpəˈniːz/
- SAMPA: /%dZ{p@"ni:z/
Noun
Note: the word Japanese should always be capitalized, even in adjective form.
- the main language spoken in Japan.
- I've been studying Japanese for three years, and I still can't order pizza in Kyoto!
- a person living in or coming from Japan. (pl. Japanese)
- A Japanese will typically have black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin.
- Note: this can also refer to someone of Japanese ancestry. Less frequently, someone of Japanese ancestry living in another country will be referred to by a similar pairing--e.g., Japanese-Taiwanese or Japanese-British.
- Note: many people object to the usage of this sense in singular form, and it is now more frequent to see a person in or from Japan referred to by using the adjective Japanese . Rather than "a Japanese," you will frequently see "a Japanese person."
