    • IPA(key): [ko̞ːɲ̟ɯ̟ᵝː]

    Noun

    (こう)(にゅう) • (kōnyū) こうにふ (kounifu)?

    1. a purchase, the act of buying something

    Verb

    (こう)(にゅう)する • (kōnyū suru) こうにふ (kounifu)?suru (stem (こう)(にゅう) (kōnyū shi), past (こう)(にゅう)した (kōnyū shita))

    Usage notes

    Just as with English purchase compared to buy, the Chinese-derived 購入する (kōnyū suru) is more formal than the native Japanese term 買う (kau). This is an example of the usual formality difference between kango terms versus native Japanese terms (大和言葉 (Yamato kotoba)).
