How to say "grid" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- no-adjectiveA loanword covering the mesh side of 'grid': a net-like pattern of intersecting lines, close to English 'mesh'. Typical for fine netting, screens, or a grid of small open cells.
- 格子こうしnounIts core senses are lattice, latticework, and window bars: bars or strips crossing to form squares. For 'grid' it fits crisscross patterns of bars or lines rather than net-like mesh.
Use 「メッシュ」 for net- or mesh-like grids of intersecting lines, and 格子 for lattices — crisscrossed bars or strips forming squares, as in latticework or window bars.
