How to say "coupon" in Japanese
- 券けんnoun, noun (suffix)The general word for a ticket or certificate; 'coupon' is only one of its senses, so it fits coupon-like slips rather than the discount voucher specifically — for that, クーポン is the usual choice.
- nounThe loanword for the discount sense: a coupon or voucher giving a price reduction or free item, in stores or online. When 'coupon' means a promotional discount, this is the word you want.
- 引換券ひきかえけんnounA slip you hand over in exchange for goods — an exchange ticket or claim tag. It covers 'coupon' only in this redemption sense, not the everyday discount coupon; for that use クーポン.
Choose 「クーポン」 for discount or promotional coupons, 引換券 for a slip exchanged to claim goods, and 券 for tickets and certificates generally, with 'coupon' only one of its senses.
