How to say "registry" in Japanese
- 登記とうきnoun, suru verb, transitive verbCovers the legal sense of 'registry': the official registration of real estate, companies, and the rights connected with them. Think of land or company registries.
- 記帳きちょうnoun, suru verb, transitive verbThe act of making entries in a book — keeping accounts, noting things down, or signing one's name, as in a visitor's book. For 'registry' as an institution or record, seldom the word you want.
- 書留かきとめnounMeans putting something on record: writing it down or noting it down. Familiar as the postal term for registered mail, but for 'registry' as a record book or institution it is a marginal choice.
Use 登記 for legal registration of real estate or companies, 記帳 for the act of writing entries or signing a book, and 書留 for putting things on record rather than the registry itself.
