居候いそうろう vs. 同居どうきょ: They Mean To Live Together With People

What is the difference between “居候いそうろう(isourou) and 同居どうきょ(doukyo)”? Which is used as a meaning of “freeloader”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!




[wp-svg-icons icon=”checkmark-circle” wrap=”i”] 居候いそうろう(isourou) / 同居どうきょ(doukyo)

[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Live in ___ (as a freeloader), Live togethe / 寄居, 住在一起 / 얹혀살고 있어요, 같이 살고 있어요 / ở ké/ ăn bám/ ăn nhờ ở đậu, sống cùng

居候いそうろう(isourou) / 同居どうきょ(doukyo)” mean “live together” and which has been used as the meaning of “to share a home”. The basic way to use it is “わたしは___に居候いそうろうする。(I live in ___)”, “わたしは___と同居どうきょする。(I live together with ___)”, etc. For instance, “わたし友達ともだちいえ居候いそうろうする。(I live in my friend’s house as a freeloader)”, “わたし友達ともだち同居どうきょする。(I live together with my friend.)”, etc. The tips for using them are that although they are the same meaning, they are different from each other. “同居どうきょ” means “a person lives together with people except for a partner and PAYS for meals and rent”, whereas “居候いそうろう” means “a person lives together with people except for a partner and who DOES NOT PAY for meals and rent or PAY ONLY FOR MEANS” such as “a FREELOADER”. That’s what the difference between them. Probably, he/she doesn’t have enough money to pay for them who is called “居候いそうろう“. Or who stay at people’s or friend’s house in a short time for 2 or 3 months and who doesn’t pay for rent, pay only for his/her meals. Everybody could use “居候いそうろう/同居どうきょ” as casual, polite and formal such as “友達ともだちいえ居候いそうろうしてるよ。(I live in my friend’s house(as a freeloader).)” as casual and “友達ともだちいえ居候いそうろうしてます。(I live in my friend’s house(as a freeloader).)” as polite and formal. And “おや同居どうきょしてます。(I’ live together with my parents.)” as polite and formal. And 友達ともだち同居どうきょてるよ。(I live together with my friend.)” as casual and 友達ともだち同居どうきょしてます。(I live together with my friend.)” as polite and formal. Lastly, when children live with their parents and who doesn’t pay for rent and meals, you would use “同居どうきょ“. Because what parents pay for rent and meals for their children is common. However, if they became already adults, “居候いそうろう” and “同居どうきょ” are used.
