How to say "product" in Japanese
- 製品せいひんnounThe everyday word for a product in the sense of manufactured or finished goods — something a company makes and sells. When you mean a commercial product, this is the word you want.この製品はイタリア製だ。↗This product is made in Italy.
- nounThe katakana loanword; it turns up chiefly in business and tech talk and otherwise overlaps with 製品. For an ordinary manufactured product, 製品 is the natural choice.
- 積せきnounStrictly the mathematical sense: the result of multiplying numbers. It has nothing to do with goods, so it is never the word for a commercial product.
- 産物さんぶつnounSomething a place, activity, or process produces — the produce of the land or, figuratively, the product of someone's efforts or imagination. Not the word for a manufactured product.
- 物産ぶっさんnounCollectively, the products or produce of a region or country — local goods viewed as a whole. It is a marginal match for a single 'product' and seldom the word you want.
Use 製品 for a manufactured or commercial product, 「プロダクト」 in business and tech settings, 積 for the mathematical result of multiplication, 産物 for what a place or process yields, and 物産 for regional goods collectively.
