How do you say "infinite" in Japanese??

It's not easy to retain vocabulary and expressions when you're studying a language, and it's especially difficult to get words out on the spot when you're having conversations. I hope these weekly posts could be good practice for your Japanese studies!!

The question for today is: How do you say "Infinite" in Japanese??


The answer is...












無限 [Mugen]


無 [Mu] means nothing or to not exist

限 [Gen] means limit or boundary


Example:

宇宙は無限だ [Uchuu wa Mugen da] - The universe is infinite (endless)



Writer's note: Speaking of infinite, Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonā no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke is a name of a character in Japanese rakugo. You deserve full citizenship in Japan if you could memorize that.
