The See also 日英 would be an antonym in as far as the /direction/ nuance being opposite. |

| Comment | A definite sens tag here please. In the 1970's Japanese children used to rush me yelling "gaijin, gajin". The Japanese now having been out in the world and having been gaijin themselves are far, far less abrasive.
gaikokujin (even correct in China as "waiguoren") or gaijinsan are much more acceptable substitutes for "gaijin" which for many of us tantamount to barbarian or the N word in America. |

In Japan there are a lot of translations from English to Japanese (E-J) and from Japanese to English (E-J), there isn't much real demand for J-S and S-J. |
| Comment | 1. I'm putting this in as an amend because the only source I have for the reading is one Japanese native speaker's opinion. I think it's probably correct (it was my guess too) but I completely failed to find confirmation online.
2. This word is almost certainly only used in written Japanese, not spoken. 3. It also happens to be the last word to index in that certain example sentence (I was after it for 実需). |
