How to say "wiring" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 配線はいせんnoun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbCovers wiring as a physical thing or arrangement: the electric wires installed in a building, machine, or circuit. This is the word you want for everyday electrical wiring.
- 打電だでんnoun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbRefers to sending a telegram or telegraphing; it matches 'wiring' only in the sense of wiring someone a message, not electrical wiring. For physical wiring it is not the word you want.
Use 配線 for wiring in the physical sense of electric wires laid in circuits or equipment; 打電 means sending a telegram, so it fits only when 'wiring' means telegraphing someone.
