Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Chinese 海外 (xojX ngwajH, literally sea + outside, beyond). Compare modern Mandarin 海外 (hǎiwài).

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

(かい)(がい) (kaigaiかいぐわい (kaigwai)?

  1. the area beyond seas
  2. overseas, foreign countries

Usage notes

[edit]

As Japan is an island nation, all other countries are “beyond seas”. This word is thus often used synonymously with 国際 (kokusai, international), 多国籍 (takokuseki, multinational) or 地球規模 (chikyūkibo, global).
