    Example Word

    実態: reality. The Japanese noun '実態 (じったい)' means 'reality' or 'actual state'. It refers to the true condition or essence of something, often contrasting with appearances or assumptions. This word is commonly used in formal or analytical contexts to describe the underlying truth of a situation. For example: the reality of the situation is harsh「実態は厳しい」(じったいはきびしい). We need to understand the actual state of the economy「経済の実態を理解する必要がある」(けいざいのじったいをりかいするひつようがある). Note that '実態' is often used in discussions about social issues, business, or research to emphasize factual conditions.
