  • パン屋パンやCommon
    nounThe ordinary everyday word for a bakery, a shop that sells bread. Its second gloss 'baker' means it can also refer to the person who makes and sells bread, so context decides whether the shop or the person is meant.
    アメリカのパン屋ぱんやでは、「baker’s dozen」は12ではなく13だ。↗
    In U.S. bakeries, a "baker's dozen" is 13, not 12.
