Meaning

Field / Farm / Cultivated land

  • はたけ — cultivated field (non-rice)
  • 畑作はたさく — upland farming
  • 田畑たはた — rice paddies and crop fields
  • 畑違いはたけちがい — unrelated field (figurative)
  • 畑地はたち — farmland, cropland
  • 麦畑むぎばたけ — wheat field

The non-radical ひへん suggests burning or dry land, while 田 is the radical. The fire element distinguishes 畑 from 水田 (rice paddies), so 畑 refers to upland or non-rice fields for vegetables, wheat, or fruit.
