When talking about the thickness of something, like a pencil, rope, or even a person's waist, the Japanese word for that is 太さ (futo-sa).
It’s a noun, and you can use it to describe how thick or wide something is in its cross-section. Think of it as the 'girth' or 'diameter' of an object.
When talking about the thickness of objects like ropes, columns, or even a person's waist, the Japanese word for this characteristic is 太さ (futo-sa). While you might initially think of other words related to size, 太さ specifically refers to the dimension of how thick or wide something is in its cross-section. It's often used when comparing the thickness of two similar items, or when specifying a certain girth. Understanding 太さ is key to accurately describing objects and measurements in Japanese, making it a very practical word to add to your vocabulary.
§ Similar words and when to use them
When talking about 'thickness' or 'girth' in Japanese, 太さ (futo-sa) is your go-to word for general applications. However, Japanese often has specific words depending on what you're describing. Let's look at some alternatives and when to use them.
- DEFINITION
- 厚さ (atsu-sa): Thickness (for flat objects)
厚さ (atsu-sa) is specifically used for the thickness of flat or thin objects like paper, cloth, walls, or boards. Think of it as the measurement from one surface to the opposite surface of a flat item. You wouldn't use 太さ for this, as 太さ implies a more cylindrical or voluminous shape.
この紙の厚さはどれくらいですか？ (Kono kami no atsu-sa wa dore kurai desu ka?)
Hint: What is the thickness of this paper?
壁の厚さを測る。 (Kabe no atsu-sa o hakaru.)
Hint: Measure the thickness of the wall.
- DEFINITION
- 幅 (haba): Width
幅 (haba) refers to the width of something, meaning the measurement from one side to the other, usually in a horizontal plane. While related to dimension, it's not the same as thickness or girth. You'd use it for roads, fabric, or even the width of a person's shoulders.
道の幅が広い。 (Michi no haba ga hiroi.)
Hint: The width of the road is wide.
この生地の幅は何センチですか？ (Kono kiji no haba wa nan senchi desu ka?)
Hint: What is the width of this fabric?
- DEFINITION
- 大きさ (ooki-sa): Size
大きさ (ooki-sa) is the most general term for 'size' or 'largeness.' It encompasses all dimensions and is used when you're talking about the overall size of something, not just a specific dimension like thickness or width. While 太さ can contribute to 大きさ, they are not interchangeable.
この箱の大きさは完璧です。 (Kono hako no ooki-sa wa kanpeki desu.)
Hint: The size of this box is perfect.
彼の夢は大きさが違う。 (Kare no yume wa ooki-sa ga chigau.)
Hint: His dreams are different in size/magnitude.
§ When to use 太さ (futo-sa)
Use 太さ (futo-sa) when you're talking about:
- The thickness of cylindrical objects: Like rope, wire, pencils, pipes, or tree trunks.
- The girth or circumference of something round: For example, the girth of a person's arm or waist (though for people, specific terms like 腕回り (udemawari - arm circumference) or 胴回り (domawari - waist circumference) are often used).
- The 'fatness' or 'boldness' of lines or characters: In writing or design, for example, a thick line.
Remember, 太さ implies a significant dimension that makes something appear 'fat' or 'chunky.' If you're unsure, consider the object. Is it more like a piece of paper (use 厚さ) or a rope (use 太さ)?
How Formal Is It?
"このケーブルの太さについて、詳細な情報を提供いただけますか？ (Kono keeburu no futosa ni tsuite, shousai na jouhou wo teikyou itadakemasu ka?)"
"この鉛筆の太さはちょうどいいです。(Kono enpitsu no futosa wa choudo ii desu.)"
"この木の幹の太さ、すごいね。(Kono ki no miki no futosa, sugoi ne.)"
"ゾウさんの鼻の太さ、とっても大きいね！ (Zou-san no hana no futosa, tottemo ookii ne!)"
रोचक तथ्य
The kanji 太 (futo) itself means 'fat' or 'thick', and さ (-sa) is a suffix that makes an adjective into a noun, indicating a state or degree. So, literally, 'the state of being thick/fat'.

Both 太さ (futosa) and 厚さ (atsusa) relate to how 'thick' something is, leading to confusion about when to use each.
Use 太さ for the thickness of something long and cylindrical (like a rope, wire, or tree trunk), or for a person's build. Use 厚さ for the thickness of flat objects (like a book, plate, or wall).
ロープの太さ (roopu no futosa) - the thickness of the rope (girth) 本の厚さ (hon no atsusa) - the thickness of the book
This is the i-adjective form, and learners might confuse its usage with the noun 太さ.
太い is an adjective meaning 'thick' or 'fat.' 太さ is the noun form, meaning 'thickness' or 'girth.'
太い鉛筆 (futoi enpitsu) - a thick pencil 鉛筆の太さ (enpitsu no futosa) - the thickness of the pencil
Similar to 厚さ, this i-adjective means 'thick' for flat objects, and can be confused with 太い.
厚い is an adjective for 'thick' (flat objects). 太い is an adjective for 'thick' (cylindrical/persons).
厚いパン (atsui pan) - thick bread (a slice of bread) 厚い本 (atsui hon) - a thick book
This is a verb related to becoming 'fat' or gaining weight, which shares the same kanji as 太さ.
太る is a verb meaning 'to get fat' or 'to gain weight.' 太さ is a noun meaning 'thickness/girth.'
最近太った (saikin futotta) - I've gained weight recently. 彼の腕の太さ (kare no ude no futosa) - the thickness of his arm
While not directly related to 'thickness,' learners might incorrectly use 大きい when trying to describe something as 'thick' or 'large in dimension' instead of specifically 'thick/girthy.'
大きい means 'big' or 'large' in general size. 太さ refers specifically to 'thickness' or 'girth.' A thick object is often big, but 'big' doesn't always imply 'thick.'
大きい箱 (ookii hako) - a big box 幹の太さ (miki no futosa) - the thickness of the tree trunk
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
太さ (futo-sa) directly translates to "thickness" or "girth." You'll often hear it when describing the thickness of something like rope, a tree trunk, or even hair. It's a straightforward term, so don't overthink it! Here's how you might use it:
- このロープの太さはどれくらいですか？ (Kono rōpu no futo-sa wa dore kurai desu ka?)
How much is the thickness of this rope? - 彼の腕の太さに驚いた。 (Kare no ude no futo-sa ni odoroita.)
I was surprised by the thickness of his arm. - 髪の毛の太さは人それぞれです。 (Kami no ke no futo-sa wa hito sorezore desu.)
The thickness of hair varies from person to person.
A common mistake for English speakers is to confuse 太さ (futo-sa) with terms like 厚さ (atsu-sa), which also means "thickness" but typically refers to the thickness of flat objects like paper, a book, or a wall. While both can mean thickness, their usage contexts are different. Use 太さ (futo-sa) for:
- Cylindrical or round objects (ropes, poles, tree trunks, arms, legs)
- Things with a measurable girth
- Flat objects (paper, books, walls, slices of food)
- Things with a measurable depth or stratum
- 正しい (Correct): この木の太さはすごい！ (Kono ki no futo-sa wa sugoi!)
The girth/thickness of this tree is amazing! - 間違い (Incorrect): この木の厚さはすごい！ (Kono ki no atsu-sa wa sugoi!)
(Sounds like you're talking about the thickness of a slice of the tree, not the whole trunk.)
- 正しい (Correct): この本の厚さは3センチです。 (Kono hon no atsu-sa wa san senchi desu.)
The thickness of this book is 3 cm. - 間違い (Incorrect): この本の太さは3センチです。 (Kono hon no futo-sa wa san senchi desu.)
(This would sound like you're talking about the width of the spine if it were a cylindrical object.)

Think of 'futo' (太) sounding a bit like 'foot' and 'sa' (さ) as in 'size.' So, 'foot size' for thickness – like measuring your foot's size or thickness.

When describing the thickness of objects, 太さ (futo-sa) is commonly used. While it can technically refer to the girth of a person, more polite or nuanced terms like 体格 (tai-kaku - physique) or 肥満度 (hi-man-do - degree of obesity) are generally preferred for people. However, for things like ropes, logs, or even the thickness of a line drawn on paper, 太さ is perfectly natural.
