    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '実在 (じつざい)' refers to the concept of 'existence' or 'reality'. It is often used in philosophical or abstract contexts to discuss the existence of something in the real world, as opposed to something that is imaginary or theoretical. For example: The existence of ghosts is debated「幽霊の実在は議論されている」(ゆうれいのじつざいはぎろんされている). This theory questions the existence of extraterrestrial life「この理論は地球外生命の実在を問う」(このりろんはちきゅうがいせいめいのじつざいをとう). The word can also be used in more concrete contexts, such as discussing the existence of historical figures or events.
