CEFR B2

wonton

Translation

ワンタン / 中華の包み団子

Meaning

A wonton is a small Chinese dumpling, usually filled with meat, seafood, or vegetables and served in soup or fried. It is a food word, not a moral judgment. The learner trap is confusing wonton with wanton, which means reckless or deliberately harmful.

Examples

  • ワンタン入りのスープを注文しました。
