  • Lexical scope — Miscellaneous nerdosity. Programming and... uh...
  • Inventory List in Japanese
#1

In English we make an inventory list like this:

car, red car, yellow truck, blue truck, green

How do the Japanese do it? There is no reference that I can find, so I need to ask someone that may have a working knowledge of Japanese.

I am thinking that since Japanese uses so little punctuation they just leave out the commas.

車赤 車黄色 トラック青 トラック緑

But I want to know, not speculate.
