  1. 1a/ˌdʒæpəˈniːz/from Japan日本的

    Coming from Japan, or connected with Japan in some way — with the country itself, with the people who live there, with their language, or with the way things are made and done there.

    Japanese 是從國名 Japan 變出來的形容詞。它說的是「跟日本有關」。範圍很寬。可以是東西來自日本，像 a Japanese car。可以是做法是日本那一套，像 Japanese noodles。可以是人，像 a Japanese friend。也可以是語言那一面，像 a Japanese keyboard。它幾乎都放在名詞前面。開頭一定大寫，因為它從國名來。也要注意它不是名詞：說「日本車」用 a Japanese car，不說 a Japan car。
