3 テーブルの上 On The Table

Meaning

Primary

On The Table

Alternative

Tabletop

Word Type

expression

Explanation

First we have a katakana word, so it's safe to assume that it's a loan word. Like many loan words, it comes from English. Say it out loud and what do you have? That's right, "table". Then comes the particle の, which joins two nouns together. Finally we have 上, which you learned means "up" or "above". Put all of these pieces together and we have a phrase meaning on the table or tabletop!

Reading

てーぶるのうえ

テーブルのうえ

Explanation

In this phrase, 上 is a standalone word, so it uses the same reading that you learned when you learned the vocabulary. Easy to stay on top of that one, right?

Context

Context Sentences
