    Explanation

    The Japanese adjectival noun '具体的 (ぐたいてき)' means 'concrete' or 'specific'. It is used to describe something that is tangible, clear, or well-defined, as opposed to abstract or vague. This term is often used in discussions, explanations, or plans to emphasize clarity and detail. For example: Please give me a concrete example「具体的な例を教えてください」(ぐたいてきなれいをおしえてください). The plan needs to be more specific「その計画はもっと具体的にする必要がある」(そのけいかくはもっとぐたいてきにするひつようがある). Note that '具体的' is often followed by the particle 'な' when modifying a noun, as in '具体的な説明 (ぐたいてきなせつめい) (concrete explanation)'.
