When you want to say that food is "boiled," you use 茹でた (yudeta). This word is an adjective that describes the state of the food. It's often used before the noun it modifies, just like in English.
For example, if you want to say "boiled egg," you'd say 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago). Remember, it specifically refers to food that has been cooked by boiling.
When you want to say something is boiled in Japanese, you use 茹でた (yudeta). It's often used for food. Think of boiled eggs, boiled vegetables, or boiled pasta. You'll attach it directly before the noun it describes.
For example, if you want to say "boiled egg," you'd say 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago). This is a practical word to know for cooking or ordering food!
When we talk about something being "boiled," especially food, the Japanese word we often use is 茹でた (yudeta). This is the past tense of the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means "to boil."
You'll hear 茹でた a lot when discussing cooking methods. For example, you might say 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago) for "boiled egg" or 茹でた野菜 (yudeta yasai) for "boiled vegetables."
It's a really practical word to know if you're talking about food prep or ordering in a restaurant. Remember, it specifically refers to the act of boiling something in water.
When talking about food that has been boiled, you'll often encounter the word 茹でた (yudeta). This is the past tense form of the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means "to boil" (specifically referring to cooking food by boiling). Think of it as a descriptor for food that has undergone the boiling process.
You'll typically see 茹でた used directly before a noun to describe it, much like an English adjective. For instance, you might hear 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago) for "boiled egg" or 茹でた野菜 (yudeta yasai) for "boiled vegetables." It's a very common and practical term in everyday Japanese cooking and dining.
When talking about cooking, 茹でた (yudeta) specifically means "boiled." You'll often see it paired with foods like eggs, vegetables, or pasta. It's a past tense adjective, so it describes something that has been boiled.
When talking about cooking methods in Japanese, it's important to be precise. 茹でた (yudeta) specifically means 'boiled' and is typically used for food items that have been cooked in boiling water. For example, you might have 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago - boiled egg) or 茹でた野菜 (yudeta yasai - boiled vegetables).
It's distinct from other cooking terms like 焼いた (yaita - grilled/baked/fried), 蒸した (mushita - steamed), or 揚げた (ageta - deep-fried). While all of these describe cooked food, 茹でた specifically implies the use of boiling water as the cooking medium. Mastering these distinctions will significantly enhance your ability to describe food preparations accurately in Japanese.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Let's talk about 茶でた (yudeta). This word is pretty straightforward. It means 'boiled' when you're talking about food. Think about it as the past tense, passive form of 茶でる (yuderu), which means 'to boil'. So, if something was boiled, you use 茶でた. It's an adjective, so it directly modifies a noun. For example, 茶でた卵 (yudeta tamago) means 'boiled egg'. Simple, right?
You'll hear and see 茶でた extensively in daily conversations and on menus in Japan. It's a fundamental word for describing a very common cooking method. When you're talking about preparing vegetables, eggs, or even some meats by boiling, this is the word you need.
- DEFINITION
- Boiled (food).
Let's look at some common scenarios where you'd use 茶でた.
- When ordering food: If you want boiled potatoes instead of fried ones, you'd mention 茶でたジャガイモ (yudeta jagaimo).
- When talking about cooking at home: If you just finished boiling some broccoli, you might say, 茶でたブロッコリーがあります (yudeta burokkorii ga arimasu - I have boiled broccoli).
- When reading recipes: Recipes often list ingredients and their preparation methods, so you'll definitely see 茶でた before ingredients like eggs, potatoes, or spinach.
It's important to remember that 茶でた specifically refers to boiling in water. If you're steaming something, you'd use a different word, like 蒸した (mushita). So, don't mix them up! Keep it clear: 茶でた for boiling, 蒸した for steaming.
茶でた卵を二つください。
Please give me two boiled eggs.
お母さんはいつも朝食に茶でた野菜を作ります。
My mother always makes boiled vegetables for breakfast.
So, to sum it up: 茶でた is your go-to word for anything that has been boiled. It's a common, practical adjective that you'll use constantly in Japanese. Get comfortable with it, and you'll be one step closer to talking about food like a native!
§ Understanding 茹でた (yudeta)
茹でた (yudeta) is the past tense (or 'ta' form) of the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means 'to boil'. When used as an adjective, 茹でた describes something that has been boiled. It specifically refers to food that has undergone the boiling process.
- DEFINITION
- Boiled (food).
It's important to remember that 茹でた is typically used for food. You wouldn't use it to describe, for example, boiled water itself, but rather something that has been boiled in water.
§ How to use 茹でた in sentences
Since 茹でた functions as an adjective, you can place it directly before the noun it modifies, just like any other い-adjective or な-adjective (though 茹でた is technically a verb's 'ta' form used adjectivally, it behaves similarly). Here are some common patterns:
- 茹でた + Noun
茹でた卵は好きですか？
Do you like boiled eggs?
茹でた野菜はヘルシーです。
Boiled vegetables are healthy.
§ Common phrases and contexts
You'll often hear 茹でた in contexts related to cooking and food preparation. Think about menus, recipes, or just everyday conversations about what to eat.
このパスタは茹でたばかりです。
This pasta has just been boiled.
茹でたての枝豆は美味しいですね。
Freshly boiled edamame is delicious, isn't it?
§ Grammar notes
As mentioned, 茹でた comes from the verb 茹でる. The 'ta' form of a verb can function as an adjective, modifying a noun. This is a common grammatical pattern in Japanese. For example:
- 食べた (tabeta) ご飯 (gohan) - rice that was eaten (eaten rice)
- 読んだ (yonda) 本 (hon) - book that was read (read book)
In the same way, 茹でた describes the state of the food after the action of boiling has been completed. There aren't specific prepositions that directly pair with 茹でた in the way you might expect in English. Instead, it modifies the noun directly.
お湯で茹でたポテトサラダは美味しい。
Potato salad made with potatoes boiled in hot water is delicious.
Here, お湯で (oyu de) indicates 'in hot water' or 'with hot water' (as the medium for boiling), but it's not a preposition directly linked to 茹でた. 茹でた still directly modifies ポテトサラダ (potato salad).
Keep practicing using 茹でた with different food items. The more you use it, the more natural it will feel.
§ What 茹でた means
You're learning Japanese, and that's great! Today, we're looking at 茹でた (yudeta). This word is a common adjective that means 'boiled' specifically for food. It's not for water or clothes, just food items. Keep that in mind.
- DEFINITION
- Boiled (food).
This isn't a super formal word, but it's used every day. You'll hear it in kitchens, at restaurants, and when people talk about cooking. It's a B1 level word, meaning it's pretty essential for basic conversations about food.
§ Examples of 茹でた in sentences
Let's see how 茹でた is used. The best way to learn is to see it in action.
朝食に茹でた卵を食べました。
- Translation hint: I ate a boiled egg for breakfast.
茹でた野菜はヘルシーです。
- Translation hint: Boiled vegetables are healthy.
このラーメンには茹でたほうれん草が入っています。
- Translation hint: This ramen has boiled spinach in it.
§ Where you actually hear this word — work, school, news
You'll encounter 茹でた most often in daily life situations, especially when talking about food preparation or ordering food. It's less common in formal settings like business meetings or news broadcasts, unless the news is specifically about cooking or food science.
At home or with friends, you might hear:
夕食は茹でたブロッコリーと焼き魚です。
- Translation hint: Dinner is boiled broccoli and grilled fish.
In a school setting, if you're taking a cooking class or talking about lunch, you might use it:
今日の給食には茹でたジャガイモが出ました。
- Translation hint: Today's school lunch included boiled potatoes.
You won't typically hear 茹でた in very serious news reports. However, if there's a segment on cooking shows or a special about healthy eating, you might:
専門家は茹でた鶏肉の利点を説明しました。
- Translation hint: The expert explained the benefits of boiled chicken.
Understanding where and when to use 茹でた will make your Japanese sound much more natural. It's a practical word that you'll use a lot if you spend any time discussing food, which is a big part of Japanese culture.
§ Don't confuse 茹でた with other 'boiled' words
Many learners get confused because there isn't just one word for 'boiled' in Japanese. You have 茹でた (yudeta), 煮た (nita), and 沸騰した (futtō shita). They all involve heat and liquid, but they're used in different contexts. 茹でた specifically refers to food cooked by boiling, usually in water, where the food itself is the focus. Think boiled eggs or boiled vegetables. It's about a specific cooking method that results in a particular texture or state of the food.
- DEFINITION
- Boiled (food).
On the other hand, 煮た (nita) implies simmering or stewing, often with seasonings in the liquid. It's about cooking something in liquid to impart flavor, like in a stew or soup. 沸騰した (futtō shita) simply means 'boiled' in the sense of water reaching its boiling point. You wouldn't use 沸騰した to describe boiled food; you'd use it for the water itself, e.g., 沸騰したお湯 (futtō shita oyu - boiled water). Understanding these nuances is crucial for sounding natural.
§ Using 茹でた as a verb
Remember that 茹でた is the past tense of the verb 茹でる (yuderu - to boil). While 茹でた acts as an adjective when modifying a noun (e.g., 茹でた卵 - boiled egg), you might mistakenly try to use it as a standalone verb in a sentence when you should be using 茹でる in its appropriate form. For instance, if you want to say 'I boiled the potatoes,' you'd say 芋を茹でました (imo o yudemashita), not 芋を茹でた (imo o yudeta), unless you're using a more casual, conversational style that implies the past tense without the formal ます (masu) ending, or if it's part of a subordinate clause.
じゃがいもを茹でる。(Jagaimo o yuderu.)
To boil potatoes.
茹でたじゃがいも。( Yudeta jagaimo.)
Boiled potatoes.
§ Not understanding its adjectival nature
As mentioned, 茹でた is a past participle that functions as an adjective. This means it directly modifies a noun. A common mistake is to use it incorrectly in a sentence structure where an adjective shouldn't be. For example, you wouldn't say 'The egg is 茹でた' in the same way you might say 'The egg is delicious.' You'd say 卵は茹でてあります (tamago wa yudete arimasu - The egg has been boiled) or 茹でた卵です (yudeta tamago desu - It's a boiled egg). The structure matters.
§ Overgeneralizing 'boiled' for liquids
While we might say 'boiled water' in English, in Japanese, you'd typically use お湯 (oyu - hot water) or 沸騰したお湯 (futtō shita oyu - boiling water/water that has boiled). You generally wouldn't say 茹でた水 (yudeta mizu) because 茹でる is specifically for food items. This is a subtle but important distinction that native speakers intuitively understand. Misusing it can sound very unnatural. Always associate 茹でた with solid food items cooked in water.
Incorrect: 茹でた水を持ってきてください。(Yudeta mizu o mottekite kudasai.) - Please bring boiled water.
Correct: お湯を持ってきてください。(Oyu o mottekite kudasai.) - Please bring hot water.
Correct: 沸騰したお湯を持ってきてください。(Futtō shita oyu o mottekite kudasai.) - Please bring boiling water.
Paying attention to these common pitfalls will help you use 茹でた more accurately and confidently. Practice using it in sentences, especially when describing dishes, to solidify your understanding.
Understanding how to talk about cooked food in Japanese can be a bit tricky because there are several verbs and adjectives depending on the cooking method. Today, we're focusing on 茹でた (yudeta), which specifically means 'boiled' (for food).
§ What is 茹でた (yudeta)?
- Japanese Word
- 茹でた (yudeta)
- Part of Speech
- Adjective (past tense of 茹でる - yuderu, to boil)
- CEFR Level
- B1
- Definition
- Boiled (food).
茹でた (yudeta) is an adjective form derived from the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means 'to boil' (specifically for food). You use it when you want to describe food that has been cooked by boiling in water.
茹でた卵が好きです。
I like boiled eggs. (hint: 卵 (tamago) means egg)
彼は茹でた野菜を食べました。
He ate boiled vegetables. (hint: 野菜 (yasai) means vegetables)
§ Similar words and when to use them
Japanese has several words for 'cooked' or 'prepared' food, and choosing the right one depends on the cooking method.
- 煮た (nita) / 煮る (niru): This means 'simmered' or 'stewed'. It implies cooking in a liquid (broth, sauce) over a longer period, often with seasoning, so the food absorbs the flavor.
大根を煮た。
I simmered daikon radish. (hint: 大根 (daikon) is a type of radish)
- 焼いた (yaita) / 焼く (yaku): This covers various dry-heat cooking methods like 'grilled', 'baked', or 'roasted'.
焼いた魚が好きです。
I like grilled fish. (hint: 魚 (sakana) means fish)
- 炒めた (itameta) / 炒める (itameru): This means 'stir-fried' or 'sauteed'. It involves cooking quickly in a small amount of oil.
彼女は野菜を炒めた。
She stir-fried vegetables.
- 揚げた (ageta) / 揚げる (ageru): This means 'deep-fried'.
揚げた鶏肉は美味しいです。
Deep-fried chicken is delicious. (hint: 鶏肉 (toriniku) means chicken)
When you're talking about simple boiling of an ingredient, like an egg or vegetables, 茹でた (yudeta) is your word. If you're talking about a dish that has been stewed in a sauce, then 煮た (nita) would be more appropriate.
Pay attention to the context and the specific cooking method to choose the most accurate Japanese word. It will make your descriptions much clearer and more natural.

Comment l'utiliser
When you're talking about food that has been boiled, like an egg or vegetables, you'll use 茹でた (yudeta). This is the past tense form of the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means 'to boil' (food). So, literally, 茹でた means 'boiled'. You can use it directly before a noun, like 茹でた卵 (yudeta tamago - boiled egg).
A common mistake is confusing 茹でた (yudeta) with 煮た (nita). While both involve boiling, 茹でた (yudeta) is specifically for boiling food in plain water until it's cooked through, often then drained. Think of boiling an egg or pasta. 煮た (nita), on the other hand, implies simmering food in a seasoned broth or liquid, where the food absorbs the flavors of the liquid. Think of stew or food simmered in soy sauce and dashi. So, 茹でた refers to the cooking method itself, while 煮た often implies a dish that has been stewed or simmered in a flavored liquid.
Astuces
Basic Meaning of 茹でた
The word 茹でた (yudeta) literally means 'boiled'. It's used to describe food that has been cooked by boiling.
Understanding the Conjugation
茹でた is the past tense (た-form) of the verb 茹でる (yuderu), which means 'to boil'. When used before a noun, it acts like an adjective.
Common Usage with Food
You'll most often hear 茹でた used with foods like eggs, vegetables, or pasta. For example, 茹で卵 (yudetamago) means 'boiled egg'.
Not for Boiling Water
Do not use 茹でた to describe water that is boiling. For boiling water, you would typically use 沸騰した (futtō shita) or simply 熱い (atsui) for 'hot'.
Opposite of Raw
Think of 茹でた as the opposite of 生 (nama), which means 'raw'. So, 茹でた野菜 (yudeta yasai) would be 'boiled vegetables', as opposed to raw vegetables.
Pronunciation Practice
Practice saying 茹でた: 'yu-de-ta'. The 'u' sounds are short, and the 'e' is like the 'e' in 'bed'.
Example: 茹でたブロッコリー
茹でたブロッコリー (yudeta burokkorii) means 'boiled broccoli'. This is a very common phrase.
Example: 茹でたパスタ
茹でたパスタ (yudeta pasuta) means 'boiled pasta'. You'll hear this in cooking contexts.
