Etymology[edit]
From Middle Chinese 海外 (xojX ngwajH, literally “sea + outside, beyond”). Compare modern Mandarin 海外 (hǎiwài).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
海外 • (kaigai) ←かいぐわい (kaigwai)?
- the area beyond seas
- 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”).
