Example Word

理論: theory. The Japanese noun '理論 (りろん)' means 'theory'. It refers to a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained. This word is often used in academic, scientific, and philosophical contexts. For example: His theory is widely accepted「彼の理論は広く受け入れられている」(かれのりろんはひろくうけいれられている). We need to test this theory「この理論を検証する必要がある」(このりろんをけんしょうするひつようがある). The word can also be used in everyday contexts to refer to a personal opinion or idea that someone has about how something works or should work.
