Example Word

存在: existence. The Japanese verbal noun '存在 (そんざい)' means 'existence'. It refers to the state or fact of existing, being present, or being real. This word is often used in philosophical, existential, or formal contexts to discuss the nature of being or presence. For example: the existence of life on other planets「他の惑星に生命の存在がある」(ほかのわくせいにせいめいのそんざいがある). His presence is reassuring「彼の存在は安心感を与える」(かれのそんざいはあんしんかんをあたえる). It can also be used to describe the presence of something in a specific location or situation, such as 'the existence of a problem'「問題の存在」(もんだいのそんざい).
