How to say "website" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe full form of the loanword, covering the ordinary sense of 'website': a site on the web. In meaning it is identical to サイト; the two differ essentially in length.
- nounA shortened form of ウェブサイト with the same meaning. It is a common word in its own right; choosing between it and the full form is largely a matter of brevity.
Both are common words meaning 'website': 「ウェブサイト」 is the full loanword and 「サイト」 a short form with the same meaning, so the choice between them is essentially one of length, not of sense.
