Desk in Japanese 🇯🇵

つくえ info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Break it down phonetically: "tsu-ke-e". Think of "tsu" as in "tsunami," which is a familiar Japanese word. "Ke" can be associated with "kettle," and "e" sounds like the letter "A."
– Visual mnemonic: Imagine placing a "tsunami" (tsu) on one side of a desk, a "kettle" (ke) in the middle, and a big letter "A" (e) on the other side.

Explanations:
– The word "つくえ" (tsukue) directly translates to "desk" in English.
– It refers specifically to a table-like piece of furniture that you typically use for writing, working, or studying.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– デスク (desuku) – A direct loan word from the English "desk" often used in Japanese katakana script.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– つくえ (tsukue) generally does not have alternate meanings or slang uses; it predominantly refers to a physical desk or table.
