📖

Origem da palavra

Derived from Middle Chinese where '郊' (jiāo) referred to the area outside the city walls used for sacrifices and farming, combined with '外' (outside).

Padrões gramaticais

Used with the particle 'に' to show location (郊外に). Used with the particle 'の' to modify another noun (郊外の家).
🌍

Contexto cultural

In Japan, many families prefer 'kougai' because 'toshin' (city center) apartments are very small and expensive; this led to the rise of 'bed towns' (commuter towns).
