"Opposite" of `和製英語`


Is there an "opposite" of `和製英語` (meaning Japanese words/phrases invented by
English speakers)? Maybe like `{英・米・欧?}製日本語`? Because I always see/hear
Japanese words in English and they drive me nuts!

The biggest one is when people pronounce `酒` as `サキ`. Another one I saw on a
local Japanese restaurant. They have Monday night "Izakai" (`イザカイ`) nights (I
don't know what this means -- maybe cheap drinks and appetizers?). Apparently,
some English speaker heard `居【い】酒【ざか】屋【や】` and just decided to make a cool-
sounding English abbreviation of it (which is really weird considering the
owner is Japanese).

So is there some set word to describe this?




I have often used [洋製日本語]{ようせいにほんご} as an opposite of 和製英語. During a Japanese
class during my study abroad program my professor was giving us a list of
和製英語. I asked her if she knew of any 洋製日本語, and she responded that the only
one she could think of was "futon".

[Here](http://somin.oheso.com/blog/002731.html) is another example of the term
being used. It lists Japanese words that have become part of the English
language (e.g. shogun, tsunami, kamikaze, sake).

I haven't seen this word in any dictionaries, and I doubt that it is a real
word. It's not really a concept that exists in Japanese since it pertains to
English vocabulary (just as we don't have a word for 和製英語 in English). But
洋製日本語 is a nice concise one-word way to say it, and most native speakers
should understand what it means.




(すごく古い質問ですが、偶然見つけたので)

Although the number is small, there are some "英製和語" (an English word of
Japanese-origin that has gained a significantly different **meaning** from the
original Japanese word):

  * [Tycoon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_magnate): 大君【たいくん】 in Japanese is a dated word for _shogun_ , not a businessperson.
  * [Hibachi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibachi): Japanese 火鉢【ひばち】 is a small device primarily for heating a room. [鉄板焼き](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teppanyaki) is never called 火鉢.
  * [Satsuma](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_unshiu): 薩摩【さつま】 is the old name of Kagoshima Prefecture. That fruit is always みかん in Japanese.
  * [Hentai](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentai): 変態【へんたい】 is a "pervert" in Japanese, not a genre of anime/comic.
  * [Futon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futon): Western-style futon is probably a kind of ソファーベッド in Japanese.
  * [Banzai](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_thousand_years#Japan): 万歳【ばんざい】 itself never means "suicide" or "reckless death/kill" in Japanese, and 万歳する can mean quite the opposite, "to surrender/give up". However "Banzai charge/attack" is well recognized by Japanese people as the western name of (神風)特攻.
  * [Kombucha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha): IMO this is the king of 英製和語; Japanese 昆布茶【こんぶちゃ】 is completely different. I really wonder why this happened in the 21st century...

The following words have not changed in their essential meanings, but they are
still used in fairly different ways:

  * [Kaizen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen): 改善【かいぜん】 in Japanese simply means "improvement", and it usually does not refer specifically to a certain kind of business philosophy as described in English Wikipedia.
  * [Kanji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji): 漢字 in Japanese includes all "Han" characters used in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam (aka CJK ideographs).
  * [Ecchi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecchi): This is a soft word ("has sexual overtone", "suggestive") in English, but is explicit in Japanese. エッチな本 is a direct word that refers to a porn book.

I've made this list purely via internet search, so please correct me if some
of these do not reflect the actual usage in English.
