I understand there are various ways to express the word "around" in Japanese under different contexts. I'm not sure of all the words used in each context and I see many variations used, both casual/polite etc.

Here is what I know for example:

  1. I will travel "around" the world.
  2. Is there a restroom "around" here? この辺り\この辺
  3. I will meet you "around" 12:00pm. 頃、くらい\ぐらい
  4. He is "around" the library. あそこ
  5. He showed me "around" town. あちこち

Are there other ways to express "around"?

  • Example 4 might not be a good example, as I don't see how it can be translated as "around" the library. I can see 「あそこら辺」, but it's the same use as example 2.
