Traducción y Significado de: 延べ - nobe

Explicación y Etimología - (延べ) nobe

The Japanese word 延べ (のべ) consists of two kanjis: 延 (nobiru) which means "extending" or "prolonging" and べ (be) which is a suffix that indicates "measure" or "quantity". Together they form the meaning of "total quantity" or "totality". The etymological origin of this word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the object counting system was done through bamboo sticks or sticks. These sticks were used to measure the amount of rice, fabrics, wood, among other materials. The word 延べ (のべ) was used to refer to the total amount of sticks used to measure a particular object. Over time, the word was used to refer to the total amount of anything, regardless of the measurement method used. Currently, the word 延べ (のべ) is widely used in commercial and financial contexts, to refer to the total amount of sales, expenses, profits, among others. It can also be used in more general contexts, such as referring to the total amount of pages of a book, for example.
