Shovel And Scoop

Today, I will talk about the difference between "shovel" and "scoop."

According to the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), it is defined that the shovel has a portion that you can put your foot, and the scoop doesn't have it.

However, most Japanese people distinguish them in their sizes.

In western Japan, people call big ones "shovel," and small ones "scoop."

On the other hand, in eastern Japan, people call small ones "shovel," and big ones "scoop."

I'm not sure the reason.

Anyway it's confusing, so you have to be careful.

ショベルとスコップ

今日は、日本におけるショベルとスコップの違いを紹介します。

JIS規格によると、足をかける部分があるものをショベル、無いものをスコップと定義しています。

しかし、日本人の多くはこれらを大きさで使い分けます。

西日本では、大きい物をショベル、小さいものをスコップと言います。

一方東日本では、小さいものをショベル、大きい物をスコップと言います。

理由はよくわかりません。

とても紛らわしいので、注意が必要です。
