    Example Word

    理屈: logic or reasoning. The Japanese noun '理屈 (りくつ)' refers to 'logic' or 'reasoning'. It is often used to describe a logical argument, theory, or explanation. This word can carry a slightly negative nuance when used to imply that someone is overly focused on logic at the expense of practicality or emotion. For example: He always insists on logic「彼はいつも理屈を言う」(かれはいつもりくつをいう). Your reasoning doesn't make sense「君の理屈は通じない」(きみのりくつはつうじない). It can also be used in a neutral or positive sense, such as: There's logic behind his argument「彼の主張には理屈がある」(かれのしゅちょうにはりくつがある).
