歯を磨く
When you want to talk about cleaning your teeth in Japanese, you use the phrase 歯を磨く (ha o migaku). 歯 (ha) means 'tooth' or 'teeth', and 磨く (migaku) means 'to brush' or 'to polish'.
So, when you put them together, 歯を磨く literally means 'to brush teeth'. You can use this phrase when you are talking about your morning routine or personal hygiene.
For example, you might say, '毎朝、歯を磨きます' (Maiasa, ha o migakimasu), which means 'I brush my teeth every morning.'
When you want to talk about brushing your teeth in Japanese, you use the phrase 歯を磨く (ha o migaku). 歯 (ha) means 'tooth' or 'teeth', and 磨く (migaku) is the verb 'to polish' or 'to brush'.
So, literally, it means 'to polish your teeth'. This phrase is commonly used in daily conversation when discussing personal hygiene.
When you're learning Japanese, you'll often encounter verbs that include a noun. 歯を磨く (ha o migaku) is a great example. 歯 (ha) means "tooth" and 磨く (migaku) means "to brush" or "to polish."
So, when you put them together with the direct object particle を (o), you get "to brush teeth." This is a common and practical phrase you'll use every day.
When we talk about daily routines in Japanese, 歯を磨く (ha o migaku) is the common and natural way to say "to brush one's teeth."

Alright, so you know what 歯を磨く means: to brush your teeth. But where are you actually going to encounter this phrase in real-life Japanese? Let's break it down.
§ Daily Conversations at Home
This is probably the most common place. Japanese people, just like everyone else, talk about their daily routines. You'll hear this within families, among roommates, or even when making plans with friends. It's a fundamental part of talking about your morning or evening routine.
ご飯の前に歯を磨きますか？
Do you brush your teeth before eating?
寝る前に歯を磨きBrush your teeth before bed.
§ Health and Dental Care Contexts
When you go to the dentist in Japan, or read health advice, this phrase is essential. Dentists and dental hygienists will use it regularly to instruct patients or explain proper oral hygiene.
食後に必ず歯を磨きLet's make sure to brush our teeth after meals.
正しい歯を磨くLet's learn the correct way to brush your teeth.
§ In Media and Public Service Announcements
Think commercials for toothpaste, or public health campaigns. These often use straightforward language to encourage good habits, and 歯を磨く will be a key phrase.
毎日の歯を磨く習慣が大切です。
The daily habit of brushing your teeth is important.
§ When to use it yourself
If you're living in Japan, you'll use this when:
- Talking about your morning or evening routine.
- Explaining what you're about to do (e.g., "I'm going to brush my teeth now.").
- Giving instructions to children (if you have them or are around them).
- Discussing dental health with a doctor or friend.
ちょっと待って、歯を磨きWait a moment, I'm going to brush my teeth.
Let's learn how to say 'to brush one's teeth' in Japanese. The most common and natural way is 歯を磨く (ha o migaku). This is a very practical phrase you'll use daily.
- DEFINITION
- 歯を磨く (ha o migaku): To brush one's teeth. A daily hygiene practice.
毎朝、歯を磨きます。(Maiasa, ha o migakimasu.)
Hint: I brush my teeth every morning.
寝る前に歯を磨いてください。(Neru mae ni ha o migaite kudasai.)
Hint: Please brush your teeth before sleeping.
§ Understanding 歯を磨く
Let's break down 歯を磨く. 歯 (ha) means 'tooth' or 'teeth'. を (o) is the direct object particle. 磨く (migaku) means 'to brush', 'to polish', or 'to shine'. So, literally, it means 'to polish teeth'.
§ Conjugating 磨く (migaku)
Since 磨く is a verb, you'll need to know how to conjugate it. Here are some common forms:
- Present/Future (Dictionary Form): 磨く (migaku) - brush
- Masu Form (Polite Present/Future): 磨きます (migakimasu) - brush
- Negative Form: 磨かない (migakanai) - don't brush
- Te Form: 磨いて (migaite) - brushing, and (for requests)
- Past Form: 磨いた (migaita) - brushed
今朝は歯を磨きませんでした。(Kesa wa ha o migakimasen deshita.)
Hint: I didn't brush my teeth this morning.
§ Similar Words and When to Use 歯を磨く
While 歯を磨く (ha o migaku) is the standard phrase for brushing teeth, let's look at related concepts to avoid confusion.
§ 歯磨き (hamigaki) - Toothbrushing / Toothpaste
歯磨き (hamigaki) is a noun. It refers to 'toothbrushing' itself or even 'toothpaste'.
歯磨きをする。(Hamigaki o suru.)
Hint: To do toothbrushing. (This also means 'to brush one's teeth', but 歯を磨く is more direct and common for the action.)
歯磨き粉 (hamagakiko)
Hint: Toothpaste (literally 'toothbrushing powder').
§ 歯ブラシ (haburashi) - Toothbrush
歯ブラシ (haburashi) is the word for 'toothbrush'. It's a loanword from English.
新しい歯ブラシを買いました。(Atarashii haburashi o kaimashita.)
Hint: I bought a new toothbrush.
§ 歯を拭く (ha o fuku) - To wipe teeth
You might encounter 拭く (fuku) which means 'to wipe'. While technically you can 'wipe your teeth', it's not the same as 'brushing'. You use 拭く for cleaning surfaces with a cloth or tissue.
テーブルを拭く。(Tēburu o fuku.)
Hint: To wipe the table.
§ 歯を洗う (ha o arau) - To wash teeth
洗う (arau) means 'to wash'. While you 'wash' clothes or 'wash' your hands, you don't typically 'wash' your teeth in the same way you brush them. You rinse your mouth, but the action with a brush is 磨く.
手を洗う。(Te o arau.)
Hint: To wash hands.
In summary, for the action of 'brushing your teeth', always use 歯を磨く (ha o migaku). It's precise, natural, and what native speakers use. Remember the particle を and you're good to go!
Dato curioso
Historically, tooth cleaning in Japan involved chewing on a 'fusa-yoji' (房楊枝), a small stick with frayed ends used as a brush, often with salt or powdered herbs.
Guía de pronunciación

Cómo usarlo
When talking about brushing teeth, always use 歯を磨く (ha o migaku). The particle を (o) indicates that 'teeth' is the direct object of the verb 'to brush.' For example: 毎晩、歯を磨きます。(Maiban, ha o migakimasu.) - I brush my teeth every night.
A common mistake is to try and translate 'brush' directly with verbs like ブラシする (burashi suru), which sounds unnatural. Another mistake is forgetting the particle を (o), leading to phrases like 歯磨く (ha migaku), which is grammatically incorrect. Always remember 歯を磨く.
Consejos
Basic use of 歯を磨く
Remember that 歯を磨く (ha o migaku) literally means 'to polish teeth.' This helps you understand why '磨く' (migaku) is used.
Pronunciation practice
Practice saying 'ha o migaku' out loud. Pay attention to the 'ha' sound (like 'hah') and 'migaku' (mee-gah-koo). Repetition is key.
Conjugating 磨く
The verb is 磨く (migaku). It's a Group 1 verb. Learn its common conjugations, like 磨きます (migakimasu - polite present) and 磨いた (migaita - past tense).
Daily routine phrases
Incorporate this into daily routine sentences: 毎朝、歯を磨きます。 (Maiasa, ha o migakimasu. - I brush my teeth every morning.)
Don't confuse with other 'brushing'
While 磨く means 'to polish' or 'to brush,' it's specifically for teeth. Don't use it for brushing hair or clothes.
Using 'o' particle
The particle 'を' (o) marks the direct object. In this case, '歯' (ha - teeth) is what is being brushed.
Morning greetings often involve hygiene
In Japan, conversations about morning routines, including brushing teeth, are common. It's a natural part of daily life discussion.
Visual association
Imagine yourself brushing your teeth while saying 'ha o migaku.' Visual memory can strengthen recall.
Variations for specific brushing
While '歯を磨く' is general, if you want to be specific, you could say 歯ブラシで歯を磨く (haburashi de ha o migaku - to brush teeth with a toothbrush).
Flashcard creation
Make a flashcard with '歯を磨く' on one side and 'to brush one's teeth' on the other. Include a simple example sentence.
Memorízalo
Mnemotecnia
Imagine a **ha**mmer (歯, ha) gently **mig**rating (磨く, migaku) across your teeth. The 'ha' sounds like 'ha' in 'hammer' and 'mig' sounds like 'mig' in 'migrating.' This helps you remember both parts of the verb 'hamigaku' (歯を磨く) meaning 'to brush teeth.'
Asociación visual
Picture a giant toothbrush actively scrubbing a set of teeth. On each tooth, you see a small 'ha' (歯) character, and the bristles of the brush are forming the shape of the 'migaku' (磨く) character. This exaggerates the action and links the visual directly to the Japanese characters.
Word Web
Desafío
Create a daily schedule in Japanese, including when you brush your teeth. For example: 「朝、歯を磨きます。」 (Asa, ha o migakimasu. - I brush my teeth in the morning.) or 「寝る前に歯を磨きます。」 (Neru mae ni ha o migakimasu. - I brush my teeth before sleeping.) Practice saying these sentences aloud, focusing on the correct pronunciation of 'ha o migaku.'
Origen de la palabra
The word '歯 (ha)' means 'tooth' or 'teeth'. '磨く (migaku)' means 'to polish' or 'to brush'.
Significado original: The combination literally means 'to polish teeth'.
Japanese, part of the Japonic language family.Contexto cultural
<p>In Japan, oral hygiene is highly valued, and brushing teeth after meals, especially lunch, is common. Many schools encourage children to brush their teeth after lunch, and some offices even have facilities for this. It's not unusual to see people brushing their teeth in public restrooms or even at their desks, reflecting a strong emphasis on dental care and cleanliness in daily life.</p>
