Choosing the right word

    I have three more pages to go.
  • 欄らんJLPT N2approx.Common
    noun, noun (suffix)Covers 'page' in the newspaper sense: a section or column of a paper, like the letters page. For a physical page of a book use ページ; 欄 really means 'section' or 'column.'

    I always read the sports page first.
  • 呼び出すよびだすJLPT N2approx.Common
    godan verb, transitive verbCovers the verb 'to page': summoning someone, as when a person is called to the phone or door. It is the general verb 'to call (someone) to come,' not a special paging term.
    どうぞ彼かれを電話でんわ口くちに呼び出よびだしてください。↗
    Please call him to the telephone.
  • 給仕きゅうじJLPT N1approx.Common
    nounReally means 'waiter' or 'server.' It touches 'page' only where English uses 'page' for a person who waits at table; for other senses of 'page' this is seldom the word you want.

Use 「ページ」 for a page of a book, document, or website; 欄 for a newspaper section or column; 「呼び出す」 for the verb 'to page' someone; 給仕 is really 'waiter/server,' only marginally 'page.'
