How to say "browse" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- noun, suru verbThe katakana loanword for 'browse' and 'browsing': looking through web pages, files, or other content casually rather than reading carefully. Less common, but this is the form you will actually meet for that sense.
- nounA less common way to write 'browse', but seldom the word you want: this katakana string is better known as the surname Burroughs, and for the browsing sense ブラウズ is the form to use.
For browsing web pages or files, 「ブラウズ」 is the katakana word you will actually meet; 「バロース」, though also meaning 'browse', is a less common spelling that is seldom the right choice.
