How to say "concentrated" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 重点的じゅうてんてきna-adjectiveCovers 'concentrated' in the sense of effort or resources being focused on particular points—prioritized, emphasized. Typical for describing concentrated investment, support, or measures aimed at selected targets rather than everything equally.
- prenominal modifierAn abbreviation meaning concentrated juice. This one is seldom the word you want for 'concentrated' generally; it really belongs to the juice/drink context, so avoid it as a general adjective.
- 集中的しゅうちゅうてきna-adjectiveCovers 'concentrated' as intensive or focused—concentrated study, training, or effort packed into a limited time or scope. Close to 重点的, but it stresses intensity and集中 in one place rather than prioritization among options.
- 濃のうprefixCovers 'concentrated' in the physical sense of thick or strong—concentrated soup, coffee, or color. It describes density or intensity of taste and shade, not effort or attention.
For effort or attention, use 重点的 or 集中的; for liquids and flavors, 濃; 「コンク」 is an abbreviation for concentrated juice and rarely the word you want.
