宅たく

noun, noun, used as a suffix

house; home; residence

Often used as a somewhat formal or written noun/suffix meaning a person's house or residence, especially after a name or relationship noun. In everyday standalone speech, 家 is usually more natural.

• 荷に物もつは山やま田だ宅たくに届とどけてください。

  Please deliver the package to the Yamada residence.

• 昨さく夜やは友ゆう人じん宅たくに泊とまった。

  I stayed at a friend's house last night.

noun

one's home; one's house

Used to refer to one's own home, with a somewhat formal or stiff tone. Modern conversation more often uses 自宅, 家, or うち depending on context.

• 本ほん日じつは宅たくにおりますので、そちらへお電でん話わください。

  I will be at home today, so please call me there.

noun

one's husband

Rare and old-fashioned use, typically where a wife refers to her own husband. In modern Japanese, 夫 or 主人 is much more common.

• 古ふるい会かい話わ文ぶんでは、妻つまが「宅たくはまだ帰かえっておりません」と言いうことがある。

  In old-fashioned dialogue, a wife may say, “My husband has not come home yet.”
