सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Japan, eyewear is a multi-billion dollar industry with a focus on both precision and style. The phrase reflects the physical design of traditional glasses that 'hang' over the ears. Interestingly, 'Megane' is also the name of a famous 2007 Japanese film that celebrates a slow, peaceful lifestyle.
The 'Hanging' Logic
Remember that 'kakeru' is used because the glasses hang on your ears. This logic also applies to 'denwa o kakeru' (to make a phone call), as old phones used to hang on hooks!
Don't 'Wear' Contacts
Never use 'kakeru' for contact lenses. Use 'tsukeru' (to attach) or 'shite iru' (to be doing/wearing). Using 'kakeru' for contacts is a classic beginner mistake.

What It Means
In Japanese, you don't just 'wear' everything with one verb. Different body parts use different words. For glasses, you use 眼鏡をかける. The verb kakeru means to hang or suspend something. Think of the glasses hanging from your ears and resting on your nose. It covers both the action of putting them on and the state of wearing them. If you see someone with frames on their face, this is the phrase you need.
How To Use It
You use this phrase just like a standard verb sentence. If you are currently wearing them, you say megane o kakete iru. If you are about to put them on, use megane o kakeru. It is very simple and follows the basic Object-Particle-Verb structure. You can add adverbs like itsumo (always) to say you always wear them. It is one of the first 'getting dressed' phrases you should learn. Just remember that the particle o marks the glasses as the object.
When To Use It
Use this when you are getting ready in the morning. Use it when you can't see the menu at a restaurant. It is perfect for telling a friend why you look different today. You might use it in a meeting if you need to see a presentation better. It is also common when texting a friend to describe your new look. Basically, any time glasses are involved, this phrase is your best friend. It is a very safe, everyday expression.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for other accessories. You don't 'hang' a hat; you 'cover' your head with kaburu. You don't 'hang' a shirt; you 'wear' it with kiru. Also, avoid using it for contact lenses. For contacts, Japanese people use the verb tsukeru (to attach). If you use kakeru for contacts, people might imagine you hanging tiny lenses on your ears! That would be a very strange sight indeed.
Cultural Background
Japan has a massive 'megane' culture. Many people wear them due to high rates of myopia. Because of this, glasses are seen as a major fashion accessory. There are even specific terms like 'Megane Danshi' (glasses boys) or 'Megane Joshi' (glasses girls). These terms describe people who look particularly attractive or charming in eyewear. Glasses aren't just for seeing; they are a key part of someone's 'look' or personality in Japan.
Common Variations
The most common variation is the polite form megane o kakemasu. If you want to say you took them off, use megane o hazusu. If you are looking for them, say megane o sagasu. You can also specify the type of glasses. For example, sangurasu o kakeru means to wear sunglasses. If you are cleaning them, you would say megane o fuku. Each of these variations keeps the conversation flowing naturally.
