Example Word
支配: control or domination. The Japanese verbal noun '支配 (しはい)' primarily means 'control' or 'domination'. It refers to the act of exercising authority or influence over others, often in a hierarchical or authoritative context. This word is commonly used in political, social, or organizational settings. For example: The king ruled with absolute control「王は絶対的な支配を持っていた」(おうはぜったいてきなしはいをもっていた). The company dominates the market「その会社は市場を支配している」(そのかいしゃはしじょうをしはいしている). Note that '支配' can also imply a sense of subjugation or oppression, depending on the context.
