Japanese Vocab Lesson 7: Vegetables （野菜） – Review Notes

Today we went to the supermarket and we learned the Japanese words for different vegetables! In this review, we will list all the vocabulary words that were in the video and some that weren’t! Learn the Japanese words for green onion, spinach, garlic and more!

………………………………………………………………………………..

Number 1:

★ The Japanese word for vegetables is やさい (yasai).

★ There were many different kinds of yasai in the supermarket!

Number 2:

★ The first yasai we saw was a tomato.

★ Tomato in Japanese is very similar to the English word, tomato, but it is pronounced a bit differently.

Number 3:

★ We also saw tamanegi. Tamanegi means onion in Japanese!

★ The kanji for tamanegi is 玉葱 – Although there is kanji for this word, people often write it using hiragana or katakana.

Number 4:

★ Pīman means green pepper in Japanese! Although this is a katakana word (which does not have Japanese origins), it obviously does not come from English. Actually, it comes from the French word piment.

★ The Japanese word for eggplant is nasubi.

★ The kanji for nasubi is 茄子 – Although there is kanji for this word, it is also common to write it just using hiragana or katakana.
