How to say "flex" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounCovers 'flex' in its British sense of the flexible wire connecting a lamp or appliance to the power supply. A less common word, but the right one when 'flex' refers to this physical cord.
- nounA common word, but strictly limited to golf: the flex of a club shaft, how flexible the shaft is. For the electrical 'flex' or the verb 'to bend' it is not the word you want.
If 'flex' means the flexible electrical wire of an appliance (chiefly British usage), choose 「コード」; 「フレックス」 applies only to the flex of a golf shaft; neither word covers the verb 'to bend'.
