ねずみ در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Nezumi is the general Japanese term for both mice and rats, lacking the size distinction found in English.
- It is grammatically treated as an animate noun, using the existence verb 'imasu' and the counter '-hiki'.
- Culturally, it is the first animal of the Zodiac and a messenger of the god Daikokuten.
- Commonly used in idioms like 'nezumi-ko' (pyramid scheme) and color terms like 'nezumi-iro' (gray).
The Japanese word ねずみ (鼠 / Nezumi) is a fundamental noun that primarily refers to a mouse or a rat. Unlike English, which distinguishes between the smaller 'mouse' and the larger 'rat' with two distinct words, Japanese often uses the single term nezumi to encompass the entire family of Muridae rodents. In a biological or specific context, qualifiers are added to clarify the size or species, but in everyday conversation, if you see a small furry rodent scurrying across the floor, you simply point and say, 'Nezumi!'
- General Usage
- Used for any rodent that looks like a mouse or rat. It is common in household contexts, nature documentaries, and folklore.
- Zodiac Context
- The mouse is the first animal in the Oriental Zodiac (Juunishi). People born in the 'Year of the Rat' are referred to as nezumi-doshi.
- Computer Terminology
- While 'mouse' as a peripheral is usually called mausu (マウス), the literal translation nezumi is sometimes used humorously or in older texts.
屋根裏でねずみが走る音が聞こえます。
(Yaneura de nezumi ga hashiru oto ga kikoemasu.)
I can hear the sound of a mouse running in the attic.
Historically, nezumi have a complex relationship with Japanese culture. On one hand, they were pests that destroyed grain stores; on the other, they are considered the messengers of Daikokuten, the god of wealth and agriculture. Because rats are prolific breeders, they symbolize fertility and a growing family. This duality makes the word appear in various settings, from warnings about hygiene to celebratory New Year's cards during the Year of the Rat.
あそこに可愛いねずみのキャラクターがいます。
(Asoko ni kawaii nezumi no kyarakutaa ga imasu.)
There is a cute mouse character over there.
- Symbolism
- Nezumi represents industriousness and cleverness. In the story of the Zodiac race, the rat won by riding on the ox's back, showing its wit.
In modern Japanese, you might also encounter the word in economic contexts, such as nezumi-ko (pyramid schemes), where the term refers to the way the scheme multiplies rapidly like breeding rodents. Understanding nezumi involves recognizing both its literal biological meaning and its deep-seated metaphorical roots in the Japanese language.
Using ねずみ in a sentence follows standard Japanese noun patterns. Since it is a living creature (animate), you use the verb iru (いる) to indicate existence, rather than aru (ある). For example, 'There is a mouse' is Nezumi ga imasu.
この古い家にはねずみがたくさん住んでいます。
(Kono furui ie ni wa nezumi ga takusan sunde imasu.)
Many mice live in this old house.
- Grammatical Particle: GA (が)
- Used to identify the mouse as the subject of an action or existence. Ex: Nezumi ga naita (The mouse squeaked).
- Grammatical Particle: O (を)
- Used when the mouse is the object of an action. Ex: Neko ga nezumi o tsukamaeta (The cat caught the mouse).
When describing the attributes of a mouse, you can use adjectives directly. Common adjectives associated with nezumi include chiisai (small), subayai (quick/agile), and kowai (scary—for those with musophobia). Because nezumi is a general term, if you want to be specific about a 'rat' found in sewers, you might say dobu-nezumi, or for a 'house mouse,' hatsuka-nezumi.
実験室で白いねずみを使います。
(Jikkenshitsu de shiroi nezumi o tsukaimasu.)
We use white mice in the laboratory.
In metaphorical usage, nezumi can describe a person's behavior. For instance, nezumi-mitai ni (like a mouse) might describe someone who is quiet, small, or perhaps acting sneakily. However, unlike English where 'rat' is a strong insult for a traitor, nezumi in Japanese is less commonly used as a direct personal insult for betrayal, though it still carries a nuance of being a 'pest' or 'insignificant.'
ねずみがチーズをかじっています。
(Nezumi ga chiizu o kajitte imasu.)
The mouse is gnawing on the cheese.
You will encounter ねずみ in a surprising variety of real-life situations in Japan. While cities like Tokyo are modern, they still grapple with urban wildlife, making nezumi a common topic in property management and sanitation. You'll see posters in subways or near restaurants warning about 'rodent control' (nezumi-kujo).
- In Pop Culture
- Mickey Mouse is universally known as 'Mikkii Mausu,' but children's books often use nezumi-kun to refer to cute mouse protagonists. The famous 'Guri and Gura' series features two mice.
- In Folklore
- The story 'Omusubi Kororin' (The Rolling Rice Ball) features a hole full of mice who sing and dance to thank an old man for his rice ball. This portrays mice as magical and grateful creatures.
子供の頃、ねずみの嫁入りの話を読みました。
(Kodomo no koro, nezumi no yomeiri no hanashi o yomimashita.)
When I was a child, I read the story of the Mouse's Wedding.
In the kitchen or restaurant industry, nezumi is a word of dread. If a health inspector mentions nezumi, it's a serious matter. Conversely, in the world of pets, hamsters are popular, but some people do keep fancy rats or mice, referring to them as petto no nezumi. You might also hear it in idioms like nezumi-iro (mouse color) to describe a specific shade of dark gray, which was a very fashionable 'chic' color during the Edo period when flashy colors were banned for commoners.
そのシャツのいろは、綺麗なねずみ色ですね。
(Sono shatsu no iro wa, kirei na nezumi-iro desu ne.)
The color of that shirt is a beautiful mouse-gray, isn't it?
One of the biggest hurdles for English speakers is the lack of distinction between 'mouse' and 'rat'. If you are trying to describe a giant sewer rat and you just say nezumi, a Japanese person might picture a small, cute house mouse. To avoid this, use dobu-nezumi (rat) for the large, dirty variety and hatsuka-nezumi (mouse) for the small variety.
- Mistake: Using ARU instead of IRU
- Incorrect: Nezumi ga arimasu. (Grammatically suggests the mouse is an inanimate object). Correct: Nezumi ga imasu.
- Mistake: Confusing with Hamsters
- While hamsters are rodents, they are always called hamusutaa. Calling a pet hamster a nezumi is technically correct biologically but socially weird.
× 庭にねずみがあります。
○ 庭にねずみがいます。
(Niwa ni nezumi ga imasu.)
There is a mouse in the garden.
Another mistake is the counter. Don't use -tsu or -nin. Small animals use -hiki. If you say nezumi ga hitori, you are implying the mouse is a person, which only works in fairy tales where the mouse is a character. Also, be careful with the word nezumi-ko. If you hear someone talking about a 'mouse group,' they are likely talking about a fraudulent pyramid scheme, not a club for rodent lovers!
大きなねずみ（ドブネズミ）を見てびっくりしました。
(Ookina nezumi (dobu-nezumi) o mite bikkuri shimashita.)
I was surprised to see a large rat.
While ねずみ is the go-to word, several related terms can provide more precision or different registers. Depending on whether you are in a lab, a pet shop, or reading a story, you might choose a different word.
- マウス (Mausu)
- Used for computer mice and often for laboratory mice in scientific contexts. It sounds more modern and technical.
- ラット (Ratto)
- Specifically refers to larger rats used in experiments. This is a loanword from English.
- ドブネズミ (Dobu-nezumi)
- Literally 'ditch mouse.' This refers to the brown rat or Norway rat, often associated with sewers and filth.
- ハツカネズミ (Hatsuka-nezumi)
- Literally '20-day mouse' (due to its short gestation period). This is the common house mouse.
パソコンのマウスが壊れました。
(Pasokon no mausu ga kowaremashita.)
My computer mouse broke.

|---|---|---|
| ねずみ | General/Common | 家に出た！ |
| マウス | Technical/IT | 実験用マウス |
| ドブネズミ | Negative/Dirty | 下水道にいる |
چقدر رسمی است؟
نکته جالب
In the Edo period, mice were so common that there was a book called 'Yousei Tama no Kakehashi' which taught people how to keep and breed 'fancy mice' with different patterns.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'zu' as a heavy English 'zoo'.

ریشه کلمه
The word 'nezumi' is ancient Japanese. The most popular theory is that it comes from 'nusumi' (stealing) and 'mi' (a suffix for creatures/beings), meaning 'the stealing creature.'
معنای اصلی: A creature that sneaks into storehouses to steal grain.
Japonic / Old Japanese.بافت فرهنگی
Avoid using 'nezumi' to describe people unless you are intentionally being rude or metaphorical about their size/stealth.
Westerners often differentiate 'rat' (bad/large) and 'mouse' (cute/small). In Japanese, you must use adjectives to create this distinction.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالIt means both! Japanese doesn't have separate common words based on size like English does. If you need to specify, you use 'dobu-nezumi' for rat and 'hatsuka-nezumi' for mouse.
Use the counter for small animals, which is '-hiki'. 1: ippiki, 2: nihiki, 3: sanbiki, 4: yonhiki, 5: gohiki.
Not really in casual writing. You'll see it in literature or on specific signs, but hiragana (ねずみ) or katakana (ネズミ) are much more common.
It's a pyramid scheme. The name comes from how the number of people involved grows exponentially, like a family of mice breeding.
According to legend, the mouse rode on the ox's head and jumped off at the finish line to win the race to the Heavenly Gate.
Not as much as 'rat' is in English. It might mean someone is small or sneaky, but it doesn't usually mean 'traitor'.
It is a medium to dark gray. It was a very popular color for kimonos in the past.
Literally 'mouse catching'. It can refer to a physical trap or a police speed trap on the road.
It depends. As characters (like Mickey or Guri and Gura), yes. As pests in the kitchen, definitely not!
It means 'a rat in a bag,' which is an idiom for being completely trapped with no way out.

Summary
The word 'nezumi' is a versatile noun covering all mouse-like rodents. To be specific, use 'dobu-nezumi' for rats and 'hatsuka-nezumi' for mice. Remember that it symbolizes both a household pest and a cultural icon of cleverness and wealth. Example: 'Nezumi ga ippiki imasu' (There is one mouse).
- Nezumi is the general Japanese term for both mice and rats, lacking the size distinction found in English.
- It is grammatically treated as an animate noun, using the existence verb 'imasu' and the counter '-hiki'.
- Culturally, it is the first animal of the Zodiac and a messenger of the god Daikokuten.
- Commonly used in idioms like 'nezumi-ko' (pyramid scheme) and color terms like 'nezumi-iro' (gray).
