  • Synonym四角いしかくいNeutralThe everyday adjective for square, covering rectangles too; the most common choice in daily speech, where 「スクエア」 would sound design- or fashion-flavored.
  • Synonym四角しかくNeutralAn everyday noun for a quadrilateral or square shape; unlike 「スクエア」 it never refers to a plaza or open space.
