What's the difference between this two words: 本屋 and 書店?
皆さんこんにちは!
Both words 本屋 and 書店 Have the meaning "bookstore" on the dictionary. What's the difference?
There's any change on using 屋 or 店 when reffering a store?
In Samurai period , most stores , restaurants and hotels put 屋 after their names. For example, 越前屋 pronounced えちぜんや. Still, some traditional Japanese Inn have this kind of name using 屋 . So, 本屋 is our traditional word for book store.
