How to say "antitrust" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 独禁どっきんno-adjectiveAn abbreviation of 独占禁止 with the same antitrust and antimonopoly sense; it is less common, and is best known from the short name of Japan's Antimonopoly Act, 独禁法.
- 独占禁止どくせんきんしno-adjectiveThe fuller term, literally 'prohibition of monopoly', with the same antitrust and antimonopoly sense; Japan's Antimonopoly Act is 独占禁止法. Like its abbreviation, it is a less common rendering of 'antitrust'.
Both words cover the same antitrust and antimonopoly sense, so the choice is one of form rather than meaning: 独禁 is simply the abbreviation of 独占禁止, and both are less common ways of rendering 'antitrust'.
