When something is 混んでいる (konde iru), it means it's crowded. Imagine a popular train during rush hour or a busy shopping street on a weekend. These places are 混んでいる. You can use it for places like stations, stores, restaurants, or even events. It tells you there are a lot of people or things in one spot, making it feel full.
When something is 混んでいる (konde iru), it means it's crowded. Imagine a popular train during rush hour or a busy shopping street on the weekend. It's full of people!
You can also use it for places that are packed with things, not just people. For example, a shelf that's overflowing with books could be described as 混んでいる.
It's a really useful word to describe places that are bustling or busy.
When something is 混んでいる (konde iru), it means it's crowded. You'll often hear this when talking about places like trains, stations, or shops that are full of people. It can also describe a road with a lot of traffic. It's a useful phrase to know when you're navigating busy areas in Japan.
When talking about places like trains, restaurants, or even events, you'll often hear the Japanese phrase 混んでいる (konde iru). This literally means 'is crowded' or 'is packed.'
It's an adjective used to describe a situation where there are many people or things in a particular space, making it feel full or even busy. Think of it as the opposite of being empty or spacious.
For example, if you're trying to get a seat on the train during rush hour, you might say, '電車が混んでいますね' (Densha ga konde imasu ne), meaning 'The train is crowded, isn't it?'
It's a really useful phrase to know for everyday conversations in Japan, especially when you're out and about in urban areas.
When we talk about places being crowded in Japanese, a super common and practical adjective is 混んでいる (kondeiru). You'll hear this all the time, especially in cities like Tokyo when people are commuting or when popular spots are bustling.
It literally describes a state of being 'mixed in' or 'jammed together,' giving you a clear picture of a place packed with people or things. You can use it for trains, restaurants, shops, or even streets.
For example, if you want to say 'The train is crowded,' you'd simply say, '電車は混んでいます (Densha wa kondeimasu).' It's a really useful phrase to know for daily life in Japan.
§ What "Konde Iru" Means
Let's talk about 混んでいる (konde iru). This is a super practical Japanese word you'll hear and use all the time. It's an adjective, and it basically means 'crowded' or 'full'. Think about a train during rush hour, a popular restaurant on a Saturday night, or even a park during a festival. When there are too many people or things in one place, you use 混んでいる.
- DEFINITION
- Crowded; full of people or things.
It's not just for people, though that's the most common use. You can also use it for places that are packed with items, like a cluttered room or a shelf overflowing with books. The key idea is a lack of space due to an abundance of something.
§ When to Use "Konde Iru"
You'll use 混んでいる whenever you want to describe a situation where a place is uncomfortably or inconveniently full. Here are some common scenarios:
- Public Transportation: This is probably the number one use for 混んでいる, especially in big cities like Tokyo.
- Restaurants and Cafes: If you're trying to get a table and the place is packed, this is your word.
- Tourist Attractions: Popular spots are often crowded, and 混んでいる is perfect for describing them.
- Shopping Areas: During sales or holidays, stores and streets can get very 混んでいる.
- Events: Concerts, festivals, or even local gatherings.
Let's look at some examples to make this clear. Pay attention to how it's used with different subjects.
電車がすごく混んでいますね。
The train is very crowded, isn't it?
このレストランはいつも混んでいる。
This restaurant is always crowded.
週末は道が混んでいた。
The roads were crowded on the weekend.
It's important to differentiate 混んでいる from other words that might seem similar but have slightly different nuances. For example, 忙しい (isogashii) means 'busy', but it refers to a person being busy, not a place being crowded. You might be busy because of a crowded situation, but the words describe different things. Also, うるさい (urusai) means 'noisy', which can be a result of a crowded place, but it's not the same as being crowded itself.
Understanding 混んでいる helps you describe common situations accurately in Japanese. It's a word that will immediately make your Japanese sound more natural and practical. Keep an ear out for it when you're listening to Japanese, and try to use it when you describe places.
§ Don't confuse it with 込み合っている (komiatte iru)
While both 混んでいる (konde iru) and 込み合っている (komiatte iru) can mean 'crowded,' there's a subtle difference in nuance. 混んでいる often describes a state of being full or packed, without necessarily implying inconvenience or difficulty in movement. It's a more general term for 'crowded.'
このカフェはいつも混んでいるね。
- Hint
- This cafe is always crowded, isn't it?
On the other hand, 込み合っている tends to suggest a more intensely crowded situation, where movement is difficult or restricted. Think of a train during rush hour or a very packed event. It implies a higher degree of density and potential discomfort.
通勤電車はいつも込み合っている。
- Hint
- Commuter trains are always packed (to the point of being difficult to move).
§ Using it for empty spaces (don't!)
A common mistake is trying to use 混んでいる to describe the opposite: an empty or sparse place. This is incorrect. 混んでいる specifically means 'crowded' or 'full.' If a place is not crowded, you should use terms like 空いている (suite iru) for 'empty' or 'available.'
レストランは空いていた。
- Hint
- The restaurant was empty/not crowded.
Never say 「レストランは混んでいませんでした」 (resutoran wa konde imasen deshita) to mean it was empty. While grammatically it means 'the restaurant was not crowded,' it's more natural and common to use 空いている (suite iru) for describing an uncrowded or empty space.
§ Misusing it with inanimate objects (mostly)
While 混んでいる primarily applies to places with people, it can also describe objects or spaces filled with things, like a packed bag or a busy schedule. However, it's important to use it appropriately. You wouldn't typically use it for something like a single cup being full; for that, you'd use 満タン (mantan) or いっぱい (ippai).
カバンの中は荷物で混んでいた。
- Hint
- My bag was full of luggage.
Instead of trying to force 混んでいる into situations where 'full' means 'at capacity' for a single item, opt for more precise vocabulary.
- For a full tank of gas: ガソリンが満タン (gasorin ga mantan)
- For a full glass of water: 水がいっぱい (mizu ga ippai)
§ Forgetting the ~いる form
Remember that 混んでいる is an i-adjective that comes from the verb 混む (komu). It's typically used in the ~ている form to express the state of being crowded. Forgetting the ~いる can change the meaning or make it sound unnatural.
道が混んでいます。
- Hint
- The road is crowded.
Saying 「道が混む」 (michi ga komu) on its own would often imply the road *will become* crowded or *tends to be* crowded, rather than its current state. Always pay attention to the verb conjugations!

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Use 混んでいる (konde iru) to describe a place that is crowded with people, like a train station during rush hour, or a popular restaurant. It can also be used for places crowded with things. The -te iru form indicates a state of being. You'll often hear it in natural conversations. For example, “電車が混んでいる” (densha ga konde iru) means “The train is crowded.”
A common mistake is confusing 混んでいる (konde iru) with 賑やか (nigiyaka). While both can relate to busy places, 賑やか means 'lively' or 'bustling' and carries a positive connotation, suggesting a fun or vibrant atmosphere. 混んでいる, on the other hand, simply means 'crowded' and can be neutral or even negative, implying inconvenience. Another mistake is using the dictionary form 混む (komu) directly to describe a crowded state; it's the verb 'to become crowded.' For the state of being crowded, always use 混んでいる.

स्मृति सहायक
Imagine a 'cone' (kon) that is 'deeper in' (de-iru) and packed with people. 'Konde-iru' sounds a bit like 'cone deep in'.
दृश्य संबंध

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालBoth 混んでいる (kondeiru) and 込み合っている (komiatteiru) mean 'crowded.' However, 込み合っている often implies a more intensely packed situation, like a train during rush hour or a very popular event. 混んでいる can be used more broadly for places that are simply busy or have a lot of people.
You can use it like this: 「この電車はいつも混んでいますね。」 (Kono densha wa itsumo kondeimasu ne.) - This train is always crowded, isn't it? Or 「週末はデパートが混んでいる。」 (Shūmatsu wa depāto ga kondeiru.) - Department stores are crowded on weekends.
Yes, absolutely! While it's most commonly used for places with many people, you can also use it for things. For example, a refrigerator that's too full: 「冷蔵庫が混んでいる。」 (Reizōko ga kondeiru.) - The refrigerator is full/crowded. Or a schedule: 「今日の予定は混んでいる。」 (Kyō no yotei wa kondeiru.) - Today's schedule is packed/busy.
Yes, it's a perfectly normal and polite word to use in everyday conversation. You can use its ます form, 混んでいます (kondeimasu), for more formal situations.
The plain form of 混んでいます is 混んでいる (kondeiru). This is what you'd use with friends or in more casual settings.
The negative form is 混んでいない (kondeinai). For example: 「このレストランはあまり混んでいない。」 (Kono resutoran wa amari kondeinai.) - This restaurant is not very crowded.
You can say 混んできた (kondekita) which implies something has started to become crowded. For example, 「駅がだんだん混んできた。」 (Eki ga dandan kondekita.) - The station has gradually started to get crowded.
Yes, you can! For example: 「道が混んでいる。」 (Michi ga kondeiru.) - The road is congested/crowded (with traffic). However, a more specific word for traffic jams is 渋滞 (jūtai).
The dictionary form is 混む (komu). 混んでいる is the ている form, indicating a state or ongoing action.
A common phrase is 「混んでいて大変だった。」 (Kondeite taihen datta.) - It was difficult because it was crowded. Or 「いつも混んでいるお店」 (Itsumo kondeiru omise) - A shop that is always crowded.
