How to say "brand-new" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- no-adjectiveCovers brand-new clothes: garments still new, typically because they are being worn for the first time. A less common word, usually written in kana, and not the choice for brand-new things other than clothes.
- no-adjectiveIts basic sense is 'just made; fresh', so as 'brand-new' it describes things new because they have only just been made or built — bread fresh from the oven, a newly built house.
Use 「おろしたて」 for brand-new clothes being worn or used for the first time, and 「できたて」 for things that are new because they have just been made or built, such as fresh bread or a newly built house.
