How to say "booty" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 分捕り品ぶんどりひんCommon
    nounThe common, general word for loot or booty: goods seized from an enemy or grabbed from someone else. In everyday talk it can sound rough or half-joking, as about things you have snagged.
  • 分捕り物ぶんどりもの
    nounMuch the same meaning as 分捕り品 — seized goods, loot — but met less often; for ordinary use 分捕り品 is the form to reach for.
  • 戦利品せんりひん
    nounBooty as spoils of war or a war trophy: goods taken from a defeated enemy as prizes of victory. Figuratively it can also describe the trophies of a successful bargain hunt or competition.
  • 略奪品りゃくだつひん
    nounLoot or booty as the product of plunder: goods taken by force, as when a town is pillaged or artworks are carried off in war. The stress falls on the violent taking, not on victory.
  • 鹵獲品ろかくひん
    nounA military term for equipment and supplies captured from the enemy, written with a rare kanji. For ordinary 'booty' it is seldom the word you want; it really means captured enemy materiel.

For loot or booty in general, 「分捕り品」 is the common, all-purpose choice; 戦利品 stresses spoils of victory, 略奪品 goods taken by plunder, and 鹵獲品 captured military materiel, while 「分捕り物」 is a less common variant of 「分捕り品」.
