In this article, we will share a list of words covered in N3 on JLPT. The list is separated by verbs, nouns, adjectives and others. Remembering that many of the words can also be found in the lists of other levels.
I hope you like the article, if you liked it share it with friends and leave your comments. We will leave a summary below to help you navigate the vocabulary list studied in JLPT N3.
The translations of these words are not 100% accurate and could be wrong. We use two types of translation, we translate straight from the list in English to English and straight from Japanese to English. If the translation doesn't make sense, we recommend the jisho.
