How to say "caucus" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 党員集会とういんしゅうかいnounCovers 'caucus' as a meeting of the members of a political party, as in American local gatherings that choose candidates or delegates; the word literally means 'party-member assembly', so the political setting is explicit.
- 決議機関けつぎきかんnounReally denotes a formal body that votes or adopts resolutions; as a rendering of 'caucus' it is loose and marginal, seldom the word you want for a meeting of party members.
Both are less common renderings of 'caucus': use 党員集会 for a meeting of party members, while 決議機関, literally a resolution-passing body, is only a loose match for the word's usual sense.
