左 足(ひだりあし)

ひだりあし

noun

left foot; left leg

1. left foot; left leg

The foot or leg on the left side of the body. As with 足(あし), the word covers either the foot specifically or the whole leg, with context distinguishing the two.

左足(ひだりあし)が痛(いた)い。

My left foot hurts.

左足(ひだりあし)を骨折(こっせつ)してしまった。

I broke my left leg.

彼(かれ)は左足(ひだりあし)でボールを蹴(け)るのが得意(とくい)だ。

He is good at kicking the ball with his left foot.

Like 足(あし) itself, this word does not distinguish foot from leg; context decides. For an unambiguous reference to the leg above the ankle, use 左(ひだり)脚(あし) (written with the leg-specific kanji 脚(あし)) or pair with a body-part word.
