How do you write 'beach house' in JAPANESE and KOREAN?

Beach house in Japanese is 海辺の家 (umibe no ie).





Don't mistake this for 海の家 (umi no ie). This one means a seaside clubhouse.





Sorry, I don't know Korean.














(here come the thumbs down, yahoo!)How do you write 'beach house' in JAPANESE and KOREAN?
I think that there might be a few ways to say this in Japanese. The word ';beach house'; is not really a Japanese word so it's find an really exact translation for it.





If you were to try an literally translate this then 海辺の家 (';umibe no ie';) would be a pretty good try. 浜の家 (';hama no ie';) is also probably OK, but usually when Japanese people want to say ';beach';, they say either 海辺 (';umibe';) or ビーチ(';biichi';). They don't really use ';hama'; to mean ';beach'; in that way.





Maybe the best translation is just a katakana version such as ビーチハウス (';biichi hausu';). The words ビーチ (';biichi';) and ハウス (';hausu';) are commonly used by Japanese people to refer to ';beach'; and ';house'; respectively. So, combining them seems to make sense. I am pretty sure that most Japanese people will understand what you mean if you say ビーチハウス.





So, 海辺の家 is a little more descriptive, but perhaps ビーチハウス is a little more hip sounding. Either one is probably OK.

while ビーチハウス and 海辺の家 refer to the english word beach house, i still have to encounter ';hama no uchi'; (浜の家). i don't think this is a normal japanese word. ';hama no uchi'; doesn't even convert to the desired kanji 浜の家 when i try to type it in. perhaps a new addition to the japanese vocabulary? hmm, maybe, i'm not sure.
Well looks like you have the japanese translation but not the korean so...





i guess you could just say 비치 하우스 ---%26gt; bichi hauusu (sorry im not sure if thats how you romanize it...i only write in hangeul)





Literally you're just saying beach house with a korean accent. But yeah i think thats what people would call it.
im not sure if you can say beach house in japanese...


you could possibly say:





Beach house-(direct translation) - ビーチ 家 


夏家-Summer house






Beach is a noun, house is a noun. You want beach to become an adjective.





Beach= Hama





Hama no uchi


浜の家


Beach home.








I don't know enough korean, sorry
