【No. 1557】Nizukuri (荷造り - Packing)

Mar 25, 2019 00:55
Nizukuri

Now I am doing nizukuri (荷造り) for moving out of my apartment.

Since ni (荷) means "package" and zukuri/tsukuri (造り) means "to make," the literal meaning of nizukuri is "to make a package."

Actually, this term means to put various things together in a box/bag or tie them together with a string.

In English, it can be translated as "packing."

It is said that packing should be started two weeks before moving, but I started packing a week before moving.

The move will take place after three days, but packing has not finished at all.
荷造り

私は今、「荷造り」をしています。

「荷」は "package"、「造り」は "make" を意味するので、「荷造り」の文字どおりの意味は "to make a package" となります。

実際には、さまざまなものをまとめて箱や袋につめたり、ひもで結んだりすることを意味します。

英語では "packing" と表現されます。

荷造りは引っ越しの2週間前が目安と言われていますが、私は引っ越しの1週間前から始めました。

引っ越しは3日後ですが、まだ全く終わっていません。
