届(とど)け物(もの)

とどけもの
noun
delivery; something delivered; gift sent to someone
1. delivery; something delivered; gift sent to someone
An item that is delivered or sent to someone, often a gift or package. Implies a personal or thoughtful delivery rather than commercial shipping.

Refers to something delivered to a person, often with a nuance of personal care or thoughtfulness. While 荷物(にもつ) is a neutral word for a package or parcel, 届(とど)け物(もの) suggests something specifically intended for the recipient.

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

  • 届(とど)け物(もの)をする: to make a delivery
  • 届(とど)け物(もの)が届(とど)く: a delivery arrives
  • 届(とど)け物(もの)を預(あず)かる: to hold a delivery (for someone)

SIMILAR WORDS:

  • 荷物(にもつ): package, parcel — neutral term for any shipped item
  • 贈(おく)り物(もの): gift — emphasizes the gift-giving aspect
  • 届(とど)け物(もの) falls between the two, covering both deliveries and personal gifts sent to someone

FORMATION:
届(とど)ける (to deliver) + 物(もの) (thing)
