How to say "pavilion" in Japanese

• パビリオンCommon
  nounThe loanword for a pavilion as a building or large structure, typically one of several at an exhibition or expo, where each country or company often has its own.
• 天幕てんまくCommon
  nounPrimarily 'tent'; as 'pavilion' it covers a tent-like structure or marquee — a fabric canopy rather than a building — so it is not the word for a pavilion that is an actual building.

Choose 「パビリオン」 for a pavilion that is a building or exhibition structure, and 天幕 when the pavilion is tent-like, since 天幕 chiefly means 'tent' or 'marquee' rather than a building.
