古い
When talking about things that are old, like a car or a house, you use the adjective 古い (furui). It specifically means old in terms of age or being worn out for inanimate objects.
For example, you could say 古い車 (furui kuruma) for an old car, or 古い本 (furui hon) for an old book. It's a very common adjective, and you'll hear it a lot in everyday Japanese when describing objects.
古い في 30 ثانية
- Use for objects, not people.
- Means 'old' or 'antique'.
- It's an i-adjective.
§ Don't use 古い (furui) for people
This is the most common mistake. While in English you can say 'old man' or 'old woman,' in Japanese, you almost never use 古い (furui) to describe a person's age. 古い (furui) is specifically for objects, buildings, or abstract things like ideas or customs. Using it for a person can sound rude or imply they are worn out, like an old object.
§ Confusing 古い (furui) with 昔 (mukashi) or 旧 (kyū)
While all these words relate to 'old' or 'past,' their usage is distinct.
- DEFINITION
- 昔 (mukashi): long ago, in the past. This refers to a point in time.
昔々、ある所に… (Once upon a time, in a certain place...)
- DEFINITION
- 旧 (kyū): former, old (used as a prefix, e.g., 旧友 - kyūyū - old friend). This implies something that used to be something else.
旧制服 (kyū-seifuku - old uniform / former uniform)
古い (furui) directly describes the state of an object as being old due to age or wear. It's an adjective.
§ Not understanding the nuance of 'antique'
While 古い (furui) can mean 'antique,' it doesn't automatically carry the positive connotation that 'antique' often does in English (valuable, cherished, beautiful because of age). If you want to specifically imply an item is a valuable antique, you might need to add context or use terms like 骨董品 (kottōhin - antique object) or 貴重な (kichō na - valuable).
これは古い時計ですが、まだ動きます。 (This is an old watch, but it still works.)
This sentence just states the watch is old. It doesn't necessarily mean it's a valuable antique unless said in a specific tone or context.
§ Overusing 古い (furui) when other words are more natural
Sometimes, instead of 古い (furui), a more specific or natural adjective might be better depending on what you're trying to convey. For example:
If something is broken or worn out due to age: 壊れている (kowarete iru - broken), 傷んでいる (itande iru - damaged/spoiled for food).
If clothes are old and shabby: よれよれ (yoreyore - worn out, shabby).
If a car is old: 年季が入っている (nenki ga haitte iru - well-used, has a history).
While 古い (furui) is a good general term, expanding your vocabulary with more specific adjectives will make your Japanese sound more natural.
Let's clear up some common confusion about "old" words in Japanese, specifically focusing on 「古い」 (ふるい - furui) and how it compares to other words you might encounter. Understanding the nuances will help you sound more natural and accurate.
§ 古い (furui) for Objects
- DEFINITION
- old (for objects), antique
「古い」 (furui) is your go-to word for describing things that are old, worn out, or simply not new anymore. It's broadly applicable to inanimate objects.
この古いカメラはまだ使える。
Hint: This old camera can still be used.
古い家を改築する。
Hint: To renovate an old house.
§ Contrast with 年を取る (toshi wo toru) for People
When talking about people getting old, you absolutely do not use 「古い」. That's a big no-no. Instead, you use expressions like 「年を取る」 (としをとる - toshi wo toru).
- DEFINITION
- to get old (for people)
祖父は年を取って、耳が遠くなった。
Hint: My grandfather got old and his hearing became poor.
You might also hear 「お年寄り」 (おとしより - otoshiyori) for elderly people.
§ Contrast with 昔の (mukashi no) for Past Times/Things
If you're talking about something from a long time ago, like "old times" or "things from the past," 「昔の」 (むかしの - mukashi no) is often a better choice than 「古い」.
- DEFINITION
- old, ancient, bygone (referring to past times or things of the past)
昔の話を聞くのが好きだ。
Hint: I like listening to old stories.
昔の友達に会った。
Hint: I met an old friend (from the past).
§ Summary of 'Old' Words
Here’s a quick recap to keep things straight:
- 古い (furui): For inanimate objects that are old, worn, or outdated. Can also be used for customs/ideas.
- 年を取る (toshi wo toru): For people aging.
- お年寄り (otoshiyori): For elderly people.
- 昔の (mukashi no): For things relating to past times, old days, or things from a long time ago.
By keeping these distinctions in mind, you'll be able to use the correct word for "old" in various Japanese contexts. Practice makes perfect!

كيفية الاستخدام
When talking about objects, you can use 古い (furui) to mean 'old.' For example, この本は古いです (Kono hon wa furui desu) means 'This book is old.'
Don't use 古い (furui) for people. When you want to say 'old' for people, you should use 年上 (toshiue) for an older person (relative to yourself), or 高齢 (kōrei) for elderly people in general. For example, 'My grandfather is old' would be 私の祖父は高齢です (Watashi no sofu wa kōrei desu) or 私の祖父は年上です (Watashi no sofu wa toshiue desu - though less common than kōrei for a grandfather).
أصل الكلمة
From Old Japanese.
المعنى الأصلي: Old, ancient.
Japonicالسياق الثقافي
In Japan, there's a strong appreciation for old objects, especially those with historical value or skilled craftsmanship. This is often linked to concepts like <i>wabi-sabi</i>, which finds beauty in imperfection and transience, and <i>mottainai</i>, which encourages not being wasteful and valuing things for a long time. So, 'furui' can often carry a positive connotation when referring to antiques or well-preserved items.
