How to say "geometry" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 幾何きかnounAn abbreviation of 幾何学, meaning geometry as a branch of mathematics; it is a common word, and in mathematical discussion it is readily understood, though 幾何学 is the fuller form.
- 幾何学きかがくnounThe full name of geometry as a branch of mathematics; this is the word to use when naming the field of study, as in academic writing or mathematical discussion.
Both words mean geometry, the branch of mathematics; 幾何学 is the full name of the field, while 幾何 is its abbreviation, so for naming the subject 幾何学 is the more explicit choice.
