Synonyms & antonyms
  • RelatedリアルNeutralListed here is 「リヤル」, the riyal/rial currency, which has nothing to do with 「即物的」; the loanword for 'real' is the separate word 「リアル」 — don't confuse the two spellings.
  • Related写実的しゃじつてきNeutralDepicts things as they are, mainly in painting and literature; it is about technique of expression, not a practical attitude, so it cannot replace 「即物的」 in that use.
  • Antonym精神的せいしんてきNeutralConcerned with the mind and spirit — mental, emotional; the opposite of 「即物的」, which looks only at material gain and practical benefit.
  • Antonym観念的かんねんてきNeutralDescribes ideas dreamed up in the head with no basis in reality — theoretical, divorced from practice; the opposite of the practical, matter-of-fact 「即物的」.

In everyday speech 「現実的」 or 「実利的」 is more common. Use 「即物的」 for favoring practical gain over ideals or feelings, or for direct description of concrete things as in 「即物的な描写」; for empty fantasies divorced from reality, use 「観念的」.
