クイズ

くいず

A question or set of questions used to test knowledge, often in an entertaining format. In Japanese, クイズ often refers to trivia-style questions rather than formal tests.

USAGE:
クイズ in Japanese usage leans toward entertainment-style trivia rather than academic testing. Quiz shows (クイズ番組(ばんぐみ)) are a staple of Japanese television. For classroom tests, テスト or 試験(しけん) is used instead.

  • クイズ番組(ばんぐみ): quiz show
  • クイズ大会(たいかい): quiz competition
