How to say "blog" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe everyday word for a blog: a website of regularly updated posts. Use it when talking about writing, reading, or following a blog, whether your own or someone else's.
- nounThe fuller loanword, from English 'weblog'; it covers both 'weblog' and 'blog' and means the same thing as ブログ. Choose it when you want the full 'weblog' form; otherwise ブログ is the simpler pick.
Both mean blog: 「ブログ」 is the short everyday form and the default choice, while 「ウェブログ」 is the fuller loanword for 'weblog' with the same meaning — pick it when you want to spell the term out.
