How to Say "Dollars" in Japanese

ドル

doru[do̞ɾɯ̟]

The English phrase "dollars" is translated into Japanese as ドル (doru).

ドル refers to the basic unit of money used in the United States and several other countries.

How does it change in a sentence?

Japanese does not use plural forms for nouns, so ドル is used for both "dollar" and "dollars".

doru

Japanese borrowed ドル from the Dutch word 'dollar' rather than directly from English.
In Japan, if you are discussing US currency, you will use ドル, but if you use the word in a general sense for 'money', it is much more common to use the word かね.
In Japanese, the word ドル is used for any currency called a 'dollar' regardless of the country, such as the Australian or Canadian dollar.
