  • Related限定げんていNeutralNarrows quantity or scope to a set range, as in 「期間限定」. It is about cutting things down, not about requirements that must be met.
  • Related留保りゅうほWrittenFormal word for holding something in reserve or leaving it undecided, as in 「判断を留保する」. It nears 「条件」 only when reservations are attached.
