How to say "pad" in Japanese
- nounThe loanword for 'pad' as a physical object — a flat, cushioned piece worn or placed for protection or comfort — and for 'padding'; this is the usual choice for these senses.
- 部屋へやnounFor 'pad' meaning a place to live, this is the word: it is the ordinary term for a room and, by extension, an apartment or flat, never a pad as an object.私の部屋は4階にあります。↗My apartment is on the fourth floor.
- 綴りつづりnounThis word means binding — sheets fastened together into a file or bundle — and its 'pad' sense is only a pad of paper; for other senses of 'pad' it is seldom the word you want.
Use 「パッド」 for a pad as a physical object or padding, 部屋 when 'pad' means a place to live, and 「綴り」 only for a pad of paper as a bound bundle — otherwise it means binding or a file.
