How to say "assorted" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 細細したこまごました
    expression, prenominal modifierHere 'assorted' means a mixed lot of small, sundry things — odds and ends rather than a neat selection. It is less common, so it is seldom the word you want for plain 'assorted'.
  • 細細としたこまごまとした
    prenominal modifierA variant of 細細した with the same 'sundry; various; assorted' range and the same nuance of many small, miscellaneous things. Like its counterpart it is less common, so rarely the word for plain 'assorted'.
  • no-adjectiveA loanword abbreviation meaning 'assorted': a set containing several different kinds, the wording seen on packaging. It is less common, and as an abbreviation it is at home in commercial and labeling language.

The two 細細 forms, interchangeable variants, cover 'assorted' as a mix of small, sundry things; 「アソート」, a loanword abbreviation, covers assorted sets of different kinds, chiefly in commercial contexts; all three are less common.
