How to say "bazaar" in Japanese
- nounThe common word for a bazaar and the one learners will usually want: most often a charity or fundraising sale, as at a school or church, with stalls selling donated or homemade goods.
- nounCovers the 'souk' sense of 'bazaar': a marketplace in the Middle East or North Africa, with clustered stalls and small shops. A less common loanword, natural when the setting is the Arab world.
- 勧工場かんこうばnounReally a word for fairs; as 'bazaar' it is marginal. A less common term, and seldom the one you want when you simply mean a bazaar.
Use 「バザー」 for the common bazaar sense, especially a charity or fundraising sale; 「スーク」 for souk-style Middle Eastern marketplaces; 勧工場 is less common and really means a fair, so it is seldom the right choice.
