Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˌʤæpəˈniːz/
• SAMPA: /%dZ{p@"ni:z/

Noun

Note: the word Japanese should always be capitalized, even in adjective form.

1. The main language spoken in Japan.

   • I've been studying Japanese for three years, and I still can't order pizza in Kyoto!

2. 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."
