Etymology 4Edit

Kanji in this term
匙
かい
Hyōgaiji
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese 貝 (kai, “shellfish, clam; clam shell”), from the way that clam shells were used as scoops.[1][2][3]

PronunciationEdit

Alternative formsEdit

NounEdit

匙 (hiragana かい, rōmaji kai, historical hiragana かひ)

  1. (obsolete) a scoop for food
  2. (archaic, rare) a wooden sword for training
    This sense developed from an ateji spelling of 木刀 (literally, “wooden blade”) applied to the food scoop meaning.

Etymology 5Edit

 
匙 (saji): a spoon.
Kanji in this term
匙
さじ
Hyōgaiji
kun'yomi

Originally a compound of 茶 (sa, “tea”) +‎ 匙 (ji, “spoon, scoop”).[1][2][2][3] This on'yomi reading for a two-character term was then applied to the single-character 匙 spelling, and re-interpreted as kun'yomi.

PronunciationEdit

Alternative formsEdit

NounEdit

匙 (hiragana さじ, rōmaji saji)

  1. spoon, scoop used for food
    私 (わたし)たちはさじでスープを飲 (の)む。
    Watashitachi wa saji de sūpu o nomu.
    We eat soup with a spoon.
  2. more specifically, a spoon or scoop used for compounding medicine
  3. by extension, medicine
  4. by further extension, a doctor
Usage notesEdit

In modern Japanese, the term スプーン (supūn) is used to refer to spoons in general, including spoons as found in the Western world. The term saji generally refers more to the broad, usually flat-bottomed Asian-style spoon shown at right.

The saji reading is the most common in modern Japanese when using this term as a standalone noun. The kanji spelling (匙) is rarely encountered; it is usually written in hiragana alone (さじ).

PronunciationEdit

NounEdit

匙 (hiragana しゃじ, rōmaji shaji)

  1. spoon
Usage notesEdit

This reading does not appear to be as common as the saji reading above. May be dialectal.

Etymology 7Edit

Kanji in this term
匙
すくい
Hyōgaiji
kun'yomi

Alternate spelling of 掬い (sukui, “scoop”), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 掬う (sukuu, “to scoop”).[1]

Rare. Only found in compounds.

PronunciationEdit

NounEdit

匙 (hiragana すくい, rōmaji sukui, historical hiragana すくひ)

  1. (rare) a scoop
Usage notesEdit

Although the general term sukui can serve as a standalone noun, this particular 匙 spelling for sukui is only found in compounds.
