Rice Field
Rice Paddy, Paddy Field
noun
A rice plant rice paddy is a rice field or rice paddy.
This word uses kun'yomi readings for 稲 (いな) and 田 with rendaku (だ). You may not be familiar with the いな reading yet, but it appears in a lot of compounds that use 稲, so it's good to know. Here's a mnemonic to help:
There's a popular road trip game in Japan where every time you pass a rice field, you have to eat nachos (いな). See a rice field? Eat nachos. And if you've ever driven through rural Japan, you know how many rice fields (and eaten nachos) that adds up to. I once gained five pounds in two hours on a drive through Niigata… It wasn't pretty. But the rice fields were.
