What are the shapes in Japanese?
I havn't been able to find a translation from English to Japanese of the geometrical shapes such as square, circle, triangle, rectangle, ect. can anyone help?
I don't know them all but here are some
Circle = En/Maru
Triangle = Sankakkei / Sankaku
Square = Seihoukei / Mashikaku
Rectangle = Chouhoukei/ Nagashikaku
Oval/ Ellipse = Daen
Trapezoid = Daikei

I can add a couple more:
Hexagon = rokkakukei (六角形)
Octagon = hakkakkukei(八角形)
(so the number of angles corresponds to kakukei (or kakkei in a slang).
