Apartments and Mansions

There are many loanwords in Japan, and today I will talk about two of them: "アパート (apartment)" and "マンション (mansion)."

The meaning of "アパート" is the same as "apartment," but the meaning of "マンション" is different from "mansion."

In Japan, we call relatively large/luxury apartments "マンション."

Actually, I will live in マンション from next month, but it has only one narrow room.

You will never think of my living space as a mansion.

By the way, since "man" of "mansion" means ten thousand in Japan, we sometimes call really luxury apartments "億ション(oku-sion, 'oku' means '100 million' in Japan).

アパートとマンション

日本語には多くの外来語がありますが、今日は「アパート」と「マンション」について話します。

アパートは英語の「apartment」と同じ意味ですが、マンションは英語の「mansion」とは異なります。

日本では、アパートのうち、比較的大きかったり豪華であるものを、マンションと呼んでいます。

実は、私は来月からマンションに住みますが、とても狭く、決してmansionではありません。

ちなみに、マンションのマンは「万」と読めることから、マンションの中でも1億円を超えるような高級なものを「億ション」と呼ぶことがあります。
