How to say "industrial" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- na-adjectiveThe common general word for 'industrial' as an adjective, covering style, manufacturing, and architecture. Typical when discussing industrial design, industrial-style interiors, or industrial buildings and districts.
- 産業用さんぎょうようprefixLess common, and seldom the general adjective you want: it really means 'for industrial use', marking equipment or goods as intended for industrial rather than household or consumer purposes.
Use 「インダストリアル」 as the common, general adjective for industrial style, manufacturing, or architecture; 産業用 is a narrower, less common option that really means 'for industrial use'.
