Welcome back! Last Monday, we took the day off to observe Coming of Age Day. Well, you can bet that when many of our newest adults are cozily ensconced in the nation's businesses and offices, much of what they'll be doing will be paperwork - the correspondence, report writing, and form filling involved in doing business. Naturally, there's no shortage of paperwork-related vocabulary, and we'll be looking at a small but varied sample this week in order to whet your appetite for more!

STATIONERY / LETTERHEAD   (封筒とセットになった)便箋/レターヘッド

Explanation

  • Stationery (uncountable noun) is paper and matching envelopes for writing letters.

    Letterhead (uncountable noun) is writing paper with the name and address of an organization or individual printed at the top. The word is also used (as a countable noun) to mean only the top part of such paper, where the name and address are printed.

    Be Careful! Especially when used in combination with other words - for example, in “stationery supplies” and “stationery department” - the word stationery can also be used to talk about various other office supplies, such as copy paper, pens and pencils, erasers, notebooks, paper clips, files, and folders.
  • 数えられない名詞の stationery は、手紙を書くための便箋と、それに合う封筒のことです。

    数えられない名詞の letterhead は、組織や個人の名前や住所が、上部に印刷された便箋のことです。また、このような便箋の名前や住所が印刷された上部のみをさすこともあり、その場合は数えられる名詞です。

    注意:stationery は、stationery supplies(事務用品)や stationery department(文房具売り場)など、ほかの語と組み合わせて使われた場合には、コピー用紙やペン、鉛筆、消しゴム、ノート、クリップ、ファイル、フォルダなど、様々な事務用品をさします。
