What is the japanese of "present"?

Question:




Answer:


good lord. "Present" can be an adjective, verb, or noun.

present adj.: He is present in class. (出席している) shusseki shite iru.

present v. : present a (prize) ご褒美を(贈呈)する  zoutei suru.

present n.: プレゼント  purezento --- like a christmas present. That's the easiest one to use if you are talking about a gift/present.

And there are many other uses of "present" in English but probably one of these three right?

And Google Translate is like asking a monkey to do your taxes---it doesn't add up. Don't use it without someone who can proofread it. (by proofread, I mean change everything it says and start again from scratch.)
