試験的|しけんてきshikenteki

1. na-adjectiveexperimental; provisional

• Synonym実験的じっけんてきNeutralFor exploring new methods or ideas, often in art as in 「実験的な作品」; 「試験的」 is about testing something before formal adoption.
• Synonym暫定的ざんていてきWrittenProvisional or interim: a stopgap arrangement for the time being, not necessarily a trial. Leans toward written or formal prose.
• Related一時的いちじてきNeutralSimply temporary, stressing that something lasts only a short while; no sense of testing anything out.
• Related仮のNeutralColloquial, and used attributively right before a noun: something temporary or makeshift, put in place for now.
• Antonym本格的ほんかくてきNeutralFull-scale and genuine, done the proper way — the opposite of a mere trial; 「試験的」 stops short of this.
• Antonym恒久的こうきゅうてきWrittenPermanent and unchanging, the standing opposite of a tentative trial; carries a written or formal flavour.

Use 「試験的」 for a trial before formal adoption, as in 「試験的に導入する」 or 「試験運用」. For exploring new methods, say 「実験的」; for merely temporary arrangements, 「暫定的」 or 「仮の」. The opposites are 「本格的」 (full-scale) and 「恒久的」 (permanent).
