Questions & Answers about araiba de karada o arau.

How do you read 洗い場で体を洗う?

It is read:

あらいば で からだ を あらう

Breakdown:

• 洗い場 = あらいば
• 体 = からだ
• 洗う = あらう

Also, the particle を is written を but pronounced お in modern Japanese.

Why are there spaces between the words? I thought Japanese usually does not use spaces.

You are right: normal Japanese writing usually does not use spaces like this.

So this sentence would normally be written as:

洗い場で体を洗う。

The spaces are just a learning aid to make the parts easier to see:

• 洗い場
• で
• 体
• を
• 洗う

What exactly does 洗い場 mean?

洗い場 means a washing area.

It often refers to:

• the place where you wash yourself before getting into a bath
• the washing area in a Japanese bathroom, bathhouse, or hot spring

So it is more specific than just bathroom. It suggests the place where washing happens, not necessarily the whole room.
