Explanation

The Japanese noun '質 (しつ)' primarily means 'quality'. It refers to the standard or grade of something, such as the quality of a product, material, or even abstract concepts like the quality of life. For example: This product has high quality「この製品は質が高い」(このせいひんはしつがたかい). The quality of this fabric is excellent「この生地の質は素晴らしい」(このきじのしつはすばらしい).
