When something 浸かる (tsukaru), it means it is completely covered in liquid. Think of taking a bath – you 浸かる in the warm water. Or if you're cooking, vegetables might 浸かる in a pot of broth. It's often used when talking about being in water, like a hot spring or the sea. It describes the state of being fully submerged.
When you take a nice, long bath, you 浸かる (tsukaru) in the hot water. It means to be submerged or soaked in a liquid. You can also 浸かる in a hot spring or even when your clothes get really wet in the rain. Think of it as being fully surrounded by water or another liquid, like when you soak something to clean it.
When you're at the B1 level in Japanese, you're starting to understand more nuanced verbs. 浸かる (tsukaru) is one of those verbs that's super useful, especially if you enjoy things like hot springs or taking a nice bath. It specifically means to be soaked or submerged in water, often with a sense of being pleasantly immersed.
Think about how you'd say you're soaking in a hot tub – this is the verb you'd use. It's not just about getting wet; it implies a deeper, more complete immersion. You'll often hear it when people talk about relaxing in a bath or even when food is marinating in liquid. It's a great verb to add to your vocabulary for describing everyday situations.
When talking about soaking or being submerged in water, the verb you'll often hear is 浸かる (tsukaru). This verb is specifically used when something or someone is immersed in liquid, like taking a bath or soaking vegetables.
It's important to remember that 浸かる usually implies a passive state of being immersed, rather than an active action of immersing something. For example, you might say 「お風呂に浸かる」 (ofuro ni tsukaru) which means 'to soak in the bath'.
While it can refer to objects, it's very commonly used for people enjoying a hot spring or a bath. You wouldn't typically use it for something like a submarine submerging.
So, if you want to describe something being soaked or someone enjoying a good soak, 浸かる is the word you're looking for!
When using the verb 浸かる (tsukaru), it implies that something is immersed or soaked in a liquid, often water, for an extended period. This verb is commonly used for things like taking a bath (お風呂に浸かる - ofuro ni tsukaru), or food soaking in a marinade. It emphasizes the state of being completely surrounded by the liquid.
It's different from simply being wet; 浸かる suggests a deeper, more thorough immersion. You wouldn't typically use it for splashing water on something, but rather for when an object or person is truly 'sitting' in the liquid. This verb often carries a nuance of something being absorbed or permeated by the liquid as well.
§ What does 浸かる (tsukaru) mean?
The Japanese verb 浸かる (tsukaru) means 'to be soaked' or 'to be submerged (in water)'. It's a useful word to know when you want to describe something completely immersed in a liquid, most often water, but it can also be used for other liquids depending on the context. This isn't a super advanced verb, so you'll definitely come across it in everyday conversations and various types of media.
- Definition
- To be soaked; to be submerged (in water).
Think of situations where something is entirely covered by water or another liquid. That's where 浸かる comes in handy. It's a neutral verb, meaning it doesn't carry strong positive or negative connotations on its own. The nuance comes from the context in which it's used.
§ When do people use 浸かる?
You'll hear and see 浸かる in many different scenarios. Here are some common ones:
- Taking a bath: This is probably one of the most frequent uses. When you soak in a bathtub, you would use 浸かる.
- Washing things: If you're soaking clothes, dishes, or even vegetables in water, 浸かる is the right word.
- Food preparation: Many Japanese dishes involve soaking ingredients, like dried vegetables or rice, before cooking.
- Natural phenomena: Describing something submerged due to rain, floods, or simply being in a body of water.
- Figurative use: While primarily literal, sometimes you might hear it used figuratively to mean 'immersed' in a situation or feeling, though this is less common than its literal use.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer:
お風呂に浸かるのは気持ちいいです。
Translation hint: "It feels good to soak in the bath."
大雨で道路が水に浸かっています。
Translation hint: "The road is submerged in water due to the heavy rain."
ご飯を炊く前に、お米を水に浸けてください。
Translation hint: "Please soak the rice in water before cooking it." (Note: Here, 浸ける (tsukeru) is the transitive form, meaning 'to soak something'.)
Understanding the difference between intransitive and transitive verbs is a key part of mastering Japanese, and 浸かる is a perfect example of an intransitive verb in action. Always pay attention to whether the action is happening *to* something or if something is performing the action *on itself* or *without an object*.
This verb is practical for daily life, whether you're talking about bathing, cooking, or even describing weather effects. Keep an eye out for it and try to incorporate it into your vocabulary. It's a foundational verb for describing states of immersion.
§ What 浸かる means
The Japanese verb 浸かる (つかる, tsukaru) means 'to be soaked' or 'to be submerged'. Think of it as something being fully immersed in a liquid. It's often used when talking about things soaking in water, but it can apply to other liquids too.
- DEFINITION
- To be soaked; to be submerged (in water).
This word is quite common, especially when discussing daily activities or specific processes. Let's look at some examples of where you'll hear it.
§ In Daily Life and Chores
You'll often hear 浸かる when talking about soaking things, especially in household contexts.
汚れた服を水に浸かる。
Hint: Soak the dirty clothes in water.
お風呂にゆっくり浸かってリラックスする。
Hint: Relax by taking a long soak in the bath.
§ In Cooking and Food Preparation
You'll frequently hear 浸かる in recipes or when discussing food preparation, especially when an ingredient needs to be soaked.
Soaking rice before cooking.
Marinating vegetables or meat.
Making pickles.
豆を一晩水に浸けてから料理する。
Hint: Soak the beans in water overnight before cooking.
きゅうりは塩水に浸けてから漬物にする。
Hint: Soak the cucumbers in salt water before making pickles.
§ In News and More Formal Contexts
While often used casually, 浸かる can also appear in more formal contexts, especially when describing a situation where something is literally submerged.
大雨で町全体が水に浸かりました。
Hint: The entire town was submerged in water due to the heavy rain.
歴史に深く浸かる。
Hint: To be deeply immersed in history (figurative use).
Understanding 浸かる will help you talk about everything from taking a bath to preparing food, and even understanding news reports about floods. Pay attention to the context and you'll quickly get the hang of it.
§ Don't confuse it with other 'soak' verbs
Many learners mix up 浸かる (tsukaru) with other Japanese verbs that also mean 'to soak' or 'to dip.' The biggest culprits are 漬ける (tsukeru) and 浸す (hitashu).
- 浸かる (tsukaru)
- This is an intransitive verb. It means something is soaking by itself, or you are soaking yourself in something. You can't use it to say 'I soaked the vegetables.'
お風呂に浸かるのは気持ちいい。
Hint: Soaking in the bath feels good.
- 漬ける (tsukeru)
- This is a transitive verb. You use this when you actively soak something. Think pickling vegetables (漬物 - tsukemono).
野菜を塩水に漬ける。
Hint: Soak the vegetables in salt water.
- 浸す (hitasu)
- Also a transitive verb, similar to 漬ける. It often implies dipping or moistening something for a short period, rather than a long-term soak like pickling. It can also be used for medical purposes, like soaking a cloth in medicine.
布を水に浸す。
Hint: Dip the cloth in water.
§ Using the wrong particle
Because 浸かる (tsukaru) is intransitive, you use the particle に (ni) to indicate the place or substance something is soaking in. A common mistake is trying to use を (o), which is typically for direct objects of transitive verbs.
間違い: 温泉を浸かる (Incorrect: Onsen o tsukaru)
正しい: 温泉に浸かる (Correct: Onsen ni tsukaru)
Hint: Soak in the hot spring.
§ Forgetting the nuance of 'soaking'
While 浸かる means 'to be soaked' or 'submerged,' it often carries the nuance of being completely or deeply immersed, or staying in the liquid for a noticeable period. It's not usually for a quick dip or just getting something wet on the surface.
- If you just briefly dip your hand in water, you might use something like 手を水にちょっとつける (te o mizu ni chotto tsukeru - 'to briefly put your hand in water') rather than 浸かる.
- If only a small part is wet, other verbs might be more appropriate. 浸かる implies a more thorough immersion.
Keep these points in mind, and you'll use 浸かる much more accurately in your Japanese conversations and writing.
§ Similar Words and When to Use 浸かる vs. Alternatives
Understanding when to use 浸かる (tsukaru) over similar-sounding verbs is key to sounding natural in Japanese. While many verbs touch on the idea of being wet or immersed, 浸かる specifically implies being passively submerged or soaked, often in water or another liquid, for a period of time. It's about the state of being in a liquid, not necessarily the action of putting something into it.
§ 浸ける (tsukeru) - To Soak/Dip (Transitive)
The most common alternative you'll encounter is 浸ける (tsukeru). The crucial difference is that 浸ける is a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. You *do* the soaking to something else. 浸かる, on the other hand, is intransitive – the subject itself is doing the soaking.
- DEFINITION
- To soak; to steep; to dip (something in a liquid).
ご飯を炊く前に、お米を水に浸ける。
Translation hint: Before cooking rice, you *soak* the rice in water.
洗濯物を洗剤に浸けておく。
Translation hint: *Soak* the laundry in detergent.
§ 漬ける (tsukeru) - To Pickle/Marinate
Another verb pronounced "tsukeru" but written with a different kanji is 漬ける (漬ける). This verb is specifically used for pickling or marinating food. While it involves soaking in a liquid, its usage is much narrower than 浸ける.
- DEFINITION
- To pickle; to marinate.
きゅうりを塩水に漬ける。
Translation hint: To *pickle* cucumbers in saltwater.
肉をタレに漬けて味をつける。
Translation hint: *Marinate* the meat in sauce to add flavor.
§ 溺れる (oboreru) - To Drown
While both 浸かる and 溺れる involve being in water, their meanings are vastly different. 溺れる specifically means to drown, implying a life-threatening situation where one is submerged and unable to breathe. 浸かる carries no such negative connotation and simply describes being in liquid.
- DEFINITION
- To drown; to be submerged (and unable to breathe).
子どもがプールで溺れそうになった。
Translation hint: The child *almost drowned* in the pool.
§ When to Choose 浸かる
Use 浸かる when:
- The subject is passively submerged or soaked in a liquid.
- You want to describe someone or something being in a bath, hot spring, or puddle.
- You are referring to an object being soaked in water (e.g., clothes in the sink, vegetables in a bowl) without emphasizing the active action of someone putting them there.
- The soaking is generally for a beneficial or neutral purpose (e.g., relaxing, getting clean, softening).
In summary, remember the core difference: 浸かる describes the *state* of being soaked or submerged, while 浸ける describes the *action* of soaking something. 漬ける is for pickling, and 溺れる is for drowning. Keep these distinctions clear, and you'll use 浸かる with confidence!
How Formal Is It?
"建物が浸水する恐れがあります。 (There is a risk of the building being submerged.)"
"お風呂に浸かって温まる。 (Soak in the bath and get warm.)"
"休日はゲームにどっぷり浸かる。 (On holidays, I'm completely engrossed in games.)"
"お水でちゃぷちゃぷするの楽しいね！ (Splashing in the water is fun, isn't it!)"
"このゲーム、沼るわ〜。 (This game is so addictive, I'm stuck in it.)"

Often confused with other verbs involving water or immersion, but '浸かる' specifically implies being passively soaked or submerged in a liquid.
This verb focuses on the state of being immersed, often passively. It's common when talking about things like soaking in a bath, food soaking in sauce, or a boat being submerged in water.
お風呂に浸かる (o-furo ni tsukaru) - to soak in the bath. 野菜が水に浸かっている (yasai ga mizu ni tsukatte iru) - The vegetables are soaking in water.
Sounds similar to '浸かる' and also relates to soaking, but '漬ける' implies an active action of putting something into liquid to soak or marinate.
'漬ける' is transitive, meaning someone or something performs the action. Think of pickling vegetables, marinating meat, or steeping tea.
野菜を塩水に漬ける (yasai o shio-mizu ni tsukeru) - to pickle vegetables in salt water. 肉をタレに漬ける (niku o tare ni tsukeru) - to marinate meat in sauce.
Another verb related to immersion, but '浸す' is transitive and means to dip, soak, or immerse something into a liquid, often briefly or with the intention of making it wet.
While similar to '漬ける', '浸す' often implies a more temporary or superficial immersion. It's about making something wet by putting it in liquid.
タオルを水に浸す (taoru o mizu ni hitasu) - to dip a towel in water. パンを牛乳に浸す (pan o gyuunyuu ni hitasu) - to soak bread in milk.
This verb means to dive or go underwater, which involves being submerged, but it emphasizes the action of going under rather than the state of being soaked.
'潜る' is about the act of actively entering and moving beneath the surface of water (or sometimes other things like blankets).
海に潜る (umi ni moguru) - to dive into the sea. 布団に潜る (futon ni moguru) - to get under the futon (blanket).
Often confused because if something is soaked, it's also wet. However, '濡れる' simply means to get wet, which can happen without full immersion.
'濡れる' is an intransitive verb meaning 'to get wet' or 'to become damp'. It doesn't necessarily imply being fully submerged. A few drops of rain can make you 濡れる.
雨で服が濡れる (ame de fuku ga nureru) - My clothes got wet from the rain. 手が水で濡れる (te ga mizu de nureru) - My hands got wet with water.

So verwendest du es
When 浸かる is used, the emphasis is on the object being passively immersed in a liquid. It's often used for things like taking a bath, soaking in an onsen, or food soaking in a marinade.
Examples:
• お風呂に浸かるのは気持ちいいです。(It feels good to soak in the bath.)
• 大根が煮汁にしっかり浸かっている。(The daikon radish is thoroughly soaked in the broth.)
A common mistake is confusing 浸かる (tsukaru) with 浸す (hitasu). While both involve liquid, 浸す means 'to immerse/soak' as an action performed by someone or something, making it a transitive verb. 浸かる is an intransitive verb, meaning the object itself is undergoing the soaking.
• 正: 温泉に浸かる。(To soak in a hot spring.)
• 誤: 温泉を浸す。(This would mean 'to soak the hot spring', which doesn't make sense.)
Another mistake is using 入る (hairu) when the nuance of 'soaking' is specifically intended. While 入る can mean 'to enter' a bath, 浸かる specifically emphasizes the act of being submerged and soaking.
Tipps
Basic Meaning of '浸かる'
The core meaning of '浸かる' (tsukaru) is to be soaked or submerged in a liquid, most commonly water. Think of it as a state of being completely surrounded by the liquid.
Common Usage: Bathing
You'll frequently hear '浸かる' when talking about taking a bath. For example, 「お風呂に浸かる」 (ofuro ni tsukaru) means to take a bath or soak in the bath.
Usage: Soaking Food
This verb is also used for soaking food items. For instance, 「水に浸かる」 (mizu ni tsukaru) can mean vegetables soaking in water before cooking.
Distinguish from '漬ける'
While similar, '浸かる' (tsukaru) is intransitive (the thing itself is submerged), whereas '漬ける' (tsukeru) is transitive (someone submerges something). For example, 「梅干しを漬ける」 (umeboshi o tsukeru) means to pickle plums.
Contextual Nuances
The context usually makes it clear whether it's about bathing, food, or something else. Pay attention to the noun preceding 'に浸かる' to understand what is being soaked.
Not for 'Drowning'
'浸かる' implies a controlled or intentional submersion. It's not used for accidental drowning; other verbs like '溺れる' (oboreru) are used for that.
Onsen Culture
In Japan, soaking in hot springs (温泉 - onsen) is a significant part of the culture. You'll often hear phrases like 「温泉に浸かる」 (onsen ni tsukaru) when talking about enjoying an onsen.
Figurative Use (Limited)
While primarily literal, very occasionally you might find '浸かる' used figuratively to describe being deeply immersed in something, but this is less common than for '没頭する' (bottō suru).
Example: Bathtub
お湯に浸かってリラックスする。
(Oyu ni tsukatte rirakkusu suru.)
Soak in the hot water and relax.
Example: Flood
家が洪水で水に浸かった。
(Ie ga kōzui de mizu ni tsukatta.)
The house was submerged in water due to the flood.

「服が水に浸かっています」 (fuku ga mizu ni tsukatte imasu) correctly uses the intransitive verb '浸かる' (tsukaru) to describe the clothes being in a state of soaking. '浸る' is for more abstract immersion, and '浸ける' is transitive ('to soak something').
You can say 「お茶に浸かる」 (ocha ni tsukaru) to mean 'to soak in tea'.
While '浸かる' means to be soaked, it's typically used for water or baths. For tea, you would more likely say 'お茶に漬ける' (ocha ni tsukeru) if you mean to dip something in tea, or 'お茶を飲む' (ocha o nomu) if you mean to drink tea.

Which sentence correctly uses 浸かる (tsukaru)?
「温泉に浸かるのは気持ちがいいです」 (Onsenni tsukaru no wa kimochi ga ii desu.) means 'It feels good to soak in a hot spring.' This is the correct usage. 「この野菜を酢に浸かる」 (Kono yasai o su ni tsukaru) is incorrect; it should be 漬ける (tsukeru) as it's transitive. 「彼は悲しみに浸かる」 (Kare wa kanashimi ni tsukaru) is grammatically possible, but 浸る (hitaru) is more commonly used for emotional states. 「雨に浸かる傘をさした」 (Ame ni tsukaru kasa o sashita) is incorrect; 傘 (kasa) 'umbrella' doesn't 'soak' in rain, it protects.
What is the best English equivalent for 「お風呂に浸かる」 (ofuro ni tsukaru)?

The sentence 「彼は海の冷たい水に浸かった。」 (Kare wa umi no tsumetai mizu ni tsukatta.) means 'He got submerged in the cold sea water.'
This sentence correctly uses 浸かる to describe being submerged in water. 「海の冷たい水に浸かった」 (umi no tsumetai mizu ni tsukatta) translates to 'got submerged in the cold sea water.'
浸かる can be used when talking about pickling vegetables.
While both 浸かる and 漬かる are pronounced 'tsukaru', 漬かる (漬物, tsukemono - pickles) is specifically used for pickling vegetables. 浸かる refers more generally to being soaked or submerged in a liquid.

You'll frequently hear '浸かる' when talking about taking a bath. For example, 「お風呂に浸かる」 (ofuro ni tsukaru) means to take a bath or soak in the bath.
Usage: Soaking Food
This verb is also used for soaking food items. For instance, 「水に浸かる」 (mizu ni tsukaru) can mean vegetables soaking in water before cooking.
Distinguish from '漬ける'
While similar, '浸かる' (tsukaru) is intransitive (the thing itself is submerged), whereas '漬ける' (tsukeru) is transitive (someone submerges something). For example, 「梅干しを漬ける」 (umeboshi o tsukeru) means to pickle plums.
