Translations of “Storekeeper” in Major Languages
- Mandarin Chinese: 库管员 (Kùguǎn yuán) – The term combines “库” (kù), meaning “storehouse” or “warehouse,” with “管员” (guǎn yuán), which refers to a person who manages.
Pronunciation: /kʰù.kwàn ɥɛ̌n/.
Example: 这位库管员负责仓库的日常管理。(“This storekeeper is responsible for the daily management of the warehouse.”) - Spanish: Encargado del almacén – This term means “person in charge of the warehouse,” reflecting the duties of a storekeeper.
Pronunciation: /en.karˈɣa.ðo ðel al.maˈθen/.
Example: El encargado del almacén revisa el inventario cada mañana. (“The storekeeper checks the inventory every morning.”) - English: Storekeeper /ˈstɔːrˌkiːpər/ – ‘store’ rhymes with ‘door’, and ‘keeper’ where ‘keep’ sounds like ‘deep’, ending ‘-er’ pronounced with a schwa sound.
Example: The storekeeper organized the shelves efficiently. - Hindi: स्टोरकीपर (Storekeeper) – The term is often used in English even in Hindi contexts due to the influence of English on modern business and technical vocabulary.
Example: स्टोरकीपर ने स्टॉक की जाँच की। (“The storekeeper checked the stock.”) - Bengali: স্টোরকিপার (Storekeeper) – Similar to Hindi, the English term is frequently used in Bengali. Example: স্টোরকিপার মজুত তালিকা তৈরি করে। (“The storekeeper prepares the inventory list.”)
- Portuguese: Encarregado do armazém – This translates as “person in charge of the warehouse,” closely aligning with the Spanish term.
Pronunciation: /ẽ.kar.ʁeˈɡa.du du aʁ.maˈzẽj/.
Example: O encarregado do armazém verifica os pedidos. (“The storekeeper checks the orders.”) - Russian: Кладовщик (Kladovshchik) – The term specifically refers to someone who manages the inventory in a store or warehouse.
Pronunciation: /klədɐfˈɕːik/.
Example: Кладовщик заказал новые запасы. (“The storekeeper ordered new supplies.”) - Japanese: 倉庫管理人 (Sōko kanrinin) – Combines “倉庫” (sōko), meaning warehouse, with “管理人” (kanrinin), meaning manager or administrator.
Pronunciation: /soːko kanɾinʲin/.
Example: 倉庫管理人が在庫を確認しました。 (“The storekeeper checked the inventory.”) - Punjabi: ਸਟੋਰ ਕੀਪਰ (Store keeper) – Like in Hindi and Bengali, the English term is commonly used in Punjabi.
Example: ਸਟੋਰ ਕੀਪਰ ਨੇ ਸਾਮਾਨ ਗਿਣਿਆ। (“The storekeeper counted the goods.”) - French: Responsable de magasin – This term means “store manager,” but it’s commonly used to refer to someone who oversees the operations of a storage facility or warehouse.
