Erklärung 審議 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to use '審議' (shingi) in your own speech, but you might see it in simple news headlines or hear it on TV. Think of it as a very 'polite' or 'official' way to say 'talk about' or 'decide.' It is used by the government or big bosses. In English, it is like the word 'deliberation.' Even if you can't use it yet, knowing that 'shin' means 'check' and 'gi' means 'talk' will help you recognize it as something important being discussed by leaders.

For A2 learners, '審議' (shingi) is a useful word to recognize when reading about Japanese society. You will often see it in the form '審議する' (to deliberate). It is different from 'hanashiau' (to talk) because 'shingi' is only for formal situations like a school board or a city council. If you are describing what the Japanese government is doing in a simple presentation, you might use 'shingi' to sound more accurate. It shows you understand that official processes are different from casual ones.

At the B1 level, you should begin to distinguish '審議' (shingi) from '検討' (kentou). While 'kentou' is about 'considering' or 'looking into' something, 'shingi' is the formal 'deliberation' that happens in a meeting. You might use this word in a business email when referring to a project that has reached the board level. You should also be familiar with '審議中' (shingi-chuu), which means 'under deliberation' or 'currently being discussed formally.'

B2 learners should be comfortable using '審議' (shingi) in formal discussions and writing. You should know common collocations like '審議を尽くす' (to deliberate thoroughly) and '審議にかける' (to submit for deliberation). At this level, you are expected to follow news reports about the National Diet, where phrases like '継続審議' (continued deliberation) and '審議拒否' (refusal to deliberate) are common. You understand the political weight this word carries.

At the C1 level, you understand the nuances of '審議' (shingi) in legal and legislative contexts. You can discuss the '審議過程' (deliberation process) and the role of '審議会' (deliberative councils) in Japanese policy-making. You are aware of the subtle differences between 'shingi,' 'kyougi,' and 'kyou-i.' You can use the word metaphorically or in highly specific professional settings, such as 'video shingi' in professional sports officiating, and explain why this specific term is used over others.

For C2 speakers, '審議' (shingi) is a foundational term for analyzing Japanese governance, law, and corporate structure. You can critique the '審議の形骸化' (deliberation becoming a mere formality) in certain political situations. You have a deep understanding of the historical and etymological roots of the word and can use it with precision in academic writing or high-level legal debate. You can navigate the most complex 'shingi' procedures in any professional Japanese environment without hesitation.

審議 in 30 Sekunden

Shingi means formal deliberation in official settings like the Diet or boardrooms.
It involves systematic review and debate before a final vote or decision.
It is a 'suru' verb, often used in passive or formal idiomatic phrases.
Commonly seen in news reports regarding law, politics, and corporate governance.

The Japanese word 審議 (しんぎ - shingi) represents a formal, systematic process of deliberation and consideration. While English speakers might use 'discussion' or 'meeting' loosely, shingi specifically denotes the gravity of an official review process, most commonly seen in the National Diet (parliament), corporate boardrooms, or legal committees. It is the act of meticulously weighing the pros and cons of a proposal before a final decision is reached. When you hear this word, imagine a room full of experts or officials looking at documents, debating clauses, and ensuring that every detail of a bill or a major policy is scrutinized.

Core Concept: Formal deliberation where the outcome usually involves a vote or a final approval. It is not just a casual chat; it is a procedural step in governance or management.
Etymological Breakdown: The first kanji 審 (shin) means 'to examine' or 'investigate' thoroughly. The second kanji 議 (gi) means 'deliberation,' 'discussion,' or 'thought.' Together, they signify 'investigative discussion.'

新しい法律案が国会で審議されています。
(The new bill is being deliberated in the National Diet.)

In a corporate context, you might encounter this word when a project proposal reaches the 'Board of Directors' level. It implies that the 'talking' phase is over, and the 'formal evaluation' phase has begun. It is often used with verbs like する (suru - to do), にかける (ni kakeru - to submit for), or が尽くされる (ga tsukusaredu - to be fully exhausted/completed). For example, 'shingi ni kakeru' means to officially table a motion for formal review.

その提案は継続審議となった。
(That proposal has been scheduled for continued deliberation.)

Register: Highly formal. You will rarely use this with friends. It belongs in news reports, business emails, and academic papers regarding political science or law.

Understanding shingi is key to following Japanese current events. When the news anchor says 'shingi ga nankou shite iru' (deliberations are facing difficulties/stalling), it signals a political deadlock. It captures the tension of decision-making in a way that simple 'discussion' (hanashiai) cannot.

Using 審議 (shingi) correctly requires understanding its role as a 'suru-verb' noun. While it is a noun, adding 'suru' allows it to function as the act of deliberating. However, in most professional contexts, it appears in specific grammatical patterns that emphasize the status of a bill or proposal.

Pattern 1: [Subject] + を審議する: This is the active form. 'The committee deliberates the budget.' (委員会が予算を審議する). It focuses on the action of the group.
Pattern 2: [Topic] + が審議される: The passive form. This is the most common in news reporting. 'The budget is being deliberated.' (予算が審議されている).

予算案の審議には数日かかる見込みだ。
(Deliberation on the budget draft is expected to take several days.)

Another frequent usage is 審議にかける (shingi ni kakeru). The verb 'kakeru' here means to 'put onto' or 'submit to'. You use this when you are moving a topic from a lower level of discussion to a formal committee for a final look. It suggests a transition from informal talk to official procedure.

この案件は次回の理事会で審議にかけられます。
(This matter will be submitted for deliberation at the next board meeting.)

Status Words

審議中 (shingi-chuu): Under deliberation.
審議未了 (shingi-miryou): Deliberation incomplete (unfinished business).
審議拒否 (shingi-kyohi): Refusal to deliberate (often a political protest).

In summary, treat shingi as a heavy-weight word. Use it when the discussion has consequences, rules, and a formal structure. If you are just talking about where to go for lunch, never use shingi—use soudan instead!

If you turn on the Japanese public broadcaster NHK during the day, you will likely see a live broadcast of the National Diet. This is the natural habitat of the word 審議 (shingi). The word is repeated constantly by announcers and politicians alike. It is the bread and butter of political discourse.

野党は、その法案の審議を求めています。
(The opposition parties are calling for deliberation on that bill.)

Beyond the halls of parliament, you will hear shingi in large Japanese corporations (Nikkei 225 companies). In these environments, major capital expenditures or structural changes must go through a 審議会 (shingi-kai). If you are working in Japan, your manager might tell you, 'Your proposal is currently in shingi,' which means it is being reviewed by the higher-ups and you should wait for the official verdict.

You will also encounter shingi in legal and academic contexts. When a university faculty considers a change in curriculum, it is a shingi. When a local city council discusses a new park, it is a shingi. It always implies a group of people in authority sitting down to make a formal choice.

Common Scenarios

Government: Debating a new tax law in the House of Representatives.
Judiciary: A panel of judges deliberating a complex case.
Corporate: The investment committee reviewing a merger.
Sports: Officials reviewing a foul in a professional league (often called 'video shingi').

ビデオ審議の結果、判定が覆りました。
(As a result of video review/deliberation, the ruling was overturned.)

In daily life, you might see it on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen: '予算案、衆院で審議入り' (Budget bill enters deliberation in the Lower House). This 'shingi-iri' (entering deliberation) is a major milestone in the life of any piece of legislation.

The most common mistake learners make with 審議 (shingi) is using it for casual discussions. Because many dictionaries translate shingi as 'discussion' or 'consideration,' students often use it when they mean 'talking something over with a friend.'

Mistake 1: Casual Overuse: Incorrect: 'Tonight's dinner shingi.' (今夜の夕食の審議). This sounds like you are a government official debating a pizza. Correct: 'Soudan' (相談) or 'Hanashiai' (話し合い).
Mistake 2: Confusing with 'Kentou' (検討): 'Kentou' means to study or consider an option. 'Shingi' is the formal meeting where that consideration is finalized. You 'kentou' (think about) a plan in your head, but a committee 'shingi' (deliberates) a plan in a meeting.

✕ 友達と旅行の計画を審議した。
○ 友達と旅行の計画を話し合った。
(Discussed travel plans with a friend.)

Another error is the particle choice. While shingi suru is a verb, it is often better to use 'shingi ni kakeru' for 'submitting' something. Using 'shingi o suru' is grammatically fine but can sometimes sound less natural than just 'shingi suru' or the passive 'shingi sareru' in professional reports.

Finally, remember that shingi implies a plural group. An individual person does not 'shingi' something alone. A person 'kangaeru' (thinks) or 'kentou suru' (considers). A group, board, or committee 'shingi' (deliberates). If you say 'I am shingi-ing the contract,' it sounds like you are multiple people.

Japanese has many words for 'discussion' and 'consideration.' Choosing the right one depends entirely on the level of formality and the number of people involved. Here is a comparison to help you distinguish 審議 (shingi) from its cousins.

1. 協議 (きょうぎ - Kyougi): This means 'consultation' or 'conference.' It is used when two parties (like two companies or two countries) talk to reach an agreement. Shingi is more about a single body reviewing a proposal.
2. 検討 (けんとう - Kentou): The most common business word for 'consideration.' It focuses on the internal process of looking at the data and deciding if something is feasible. It is less formal than shingi.
3. 相談 (そうだん - Soudan): A general word for 'consultation' or 'advice.' Used for everything from asking a doctor for help to talking with your spouse about a purchase.

「審議」 vs 「協議」
Shingi is an internal review by an authority. Kyougi is a negotiation between two equal sides.

If you are in a meeting and want to sound professional but not overly stiff, 検討 (kentou) is usually your safest bet. Save 審議 (shingi) for when you are referring to the actual, final committee stage of a project.

How Formal Is It?

Wusstest du?

The 'shin' (審) kanji depicts a 'house' (宀) and 'to distinguish' (番), suggesting looking closely at things inside a home to separate truth from falsehood.
