取り消し

When something you planned doesn't happen, we call that a cancellation. In Japanese, the word for cancellation is 取り消し (torikeshi).

You might hear this word if a train journey is cancelled, or if a meeting doesn't go ahead as planned. It's used when an event or agreement is called off.

When something you had planned no longer happens, that's a cancellation. In Japanese, the word for this is 取り消し (torikeshi).

Think of it like this: if you make a reservation for a restaurant and then decide you can't go, you would do a 取り消し of your reservation. Or, if a flight is suddenly called off, that's also a 取り消し. It's used for actions like canceling an appointment, a booking, or even an agreement.

You might hear it in phrases like 予約の取り消し (yoyaku no torikeshi - reservation cancellation) or 注文の取り消し (chūmon no torikeshi - order cancellation).

When something you had planned or agreed upon isn't going to happen, you use the word 取り消し (torikeshi) to describe that situation. It refers to the act of calling off an event, an appointment, a reservation, or even an agreement. You might hear it when a train service is cancelled, or when a booking at a restaurant is revoked. It's a very common and practical term to know, especially when dealing with scheduling or arrangements in Japanese.
