Kuruma is the general, everyday word for car, whereas jidousha is more formal/technical.
Jitensha means bicycle; beginners often mix them up because they both end in 'sha' (vehicle).
Notes d'usage
Use 'jidousha' when writing formal reports, news articles, or taking proficiency tests like the JLPT. In speaking, unless you want to sound very stiff or professional, 'kuruma' is the preferred choice.
Erreurs courantes
Learners often use 'jidousha' in casual conversation where 'kuruma' would be more natural. Also, be careful not to confuse the kanji with 'jitensha' (bicycle).
Astuce mémo
Break down the Kanji: 自 (Self) + 動 (Move) + 車 (Wheel/Vehicle). It's a 'self-moving vehicle'!
Origine du mot
A Sino-Japanese compound (Kango) combining 'self-moving' (jidou) and 'vehicle' (sha).
