Science in Japanese 🇯🇵

かかく info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Associate "かかく" (kakaku) with "cost calculation" since both start with a "k" sound.
– Visualize a cashier (かしや/kashiya) at a store calculating the price (かかく/kakaku) of items.

Explanations:
– 価格 (かかく, kakaku) refers to the price of something, typically in a retail or commercial setting. It is a common term used in everyday transactions.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 値段 (ねだん, nedan): This also means price or cost and is frequently used interchangeably with 価格 (kakaku).
– 料金 (りょうきん, ryōkin): This means fee or charge, often used for services rather than goods.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In some informal contexts, かかく (kakaku) can be used metaphorically to refer to the "cost" or "price" one has to pay in a broader sense, such as personal effort or sacrifices.
