Explanation and Etymology - (取り分) toriwake
The expression 「取り分」 (toriwake) is composed of two kanji: 「取り」 (tori) and 「分」 (bun). The first kanji, 「取り」, is derived from the verb 「取る」(toru), which means "to take" or "to grab". The second kanji, 「分」 (bun), is often used to indicate "part" or "division". Thus, in its literal meaning, 「取り分」 refers to the "taken part" or "separated portion". Originally, the expression may have been related to dividing or separating something among several individuals.
In modern contexts, 「取り分」 is commonly used to refer to a part or portion of something, especially in situations where a resource is being divided among several people. It can refer to goods, food, money, or even responsibilities. This term conveys a notion of equitable distribution or receiving a fair share of something in a division scheme.
Use and Applications of 「取り分」
- Profit Sharing: In the business world, 「取り分」 can refer to the portion of profit or share of the earnings that an individual or group receives.
- Food Distribution: In a family or social setting, using 「取り分」 can mean each person taking their portion from a communal meal.
- Division of Responsibilities: It can also be used in the context of sharing tasks or responsibilities in a project or activity.
On the other hand, the term 「とりわけ」 (toriwake) is generally used as an adverb meaning "particularly" or "especially." Although they share the same pronunciation, 「取り分」 and 「とりわけ」 have distinct meanings and applications. 「とりわけ」 is used to emphasize something special or important within a larger group or set, highlighting a specific element.
