How to say "boon" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 賜物たまもの
    nounCovers 'boon' as a gift or godsend — something beneficial bestowed as if by heaven or good fortune. Use it when gratefully describing a benefit that has come to someone; it is a less common choice.
  • 授かり物さずかりもの
    nounCovers 'boon' as a windfall or blessing: something good that comes to you unearned, as if granted from above, and is received with gratitude. A less common choice for this sense.
  • 賜り物たまわりもの
    nounCovers the 'gift' side of 'boon': something bestowed on you by another, like a favor granted by a superior. For the godsend sense, 賜物 is the closer fit; this is also a less common word.

All three are less common equivalents of 'boon': choose 賜物 for a godsend bestowed as if by heaven, 「授かり物」 for an unearned windfall or blessing, and 「賜り物」 for a gift or favor granted by another.
