Example Word

正当: just or legitimate. The Japanese adjectival noun '正当 (せいとう)' means 'just' or 'legitimate'. It is used to describe something that is morally or legally correct, fair, or justified. This term is often used in contexts involving rights, actions, or reasoning. For example: His actions were just「彼の行動は正当だった」(かれのこうどうはせいとうだった). The claim is legitimate「その主張は正当だ」(そのしゅちょうはせいとうだ). Note that '正当' can also be used in legal or formal contexts to describe something that is valid or rightful, such as '正当な理由 (せいとうなりゆう) (legitimate reason)'.
