How to say "engaged" in Japanese
- 予約済みよやくずみno-adjectiveFor 'engaged' meaning reserved or booked — a seat, room, or table that someone has already reserved and that is therefore taken. A less common equivalent, it presents the booking as complete.
- 使用中しようちゅうexpression, no-adjectiveFor 'engaged' meaning occupied or in use, like a toilet that is engaged. A less common equivalent, it says something is being used right now, as on a sign for an occupied toilet.
Both are less common equivalents of 'engaged': use 「予約済み」 for the 'reserved, booked' sense and 使用中 for the 'occupied, in use' sense (a toilet, for example); neither expresses 'engaged to be married'.
