Erklärung 審査 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should think of 審査 (shinsa) as a 'big check' or a 'test' done by a company or bank. You might not use this word yourself very often, but you will see it if you try to get a point card or a simple credit card at a store. It basically means someone is looking at your application to say 'Yes' or 'No.' Just remember the sound 'shinsa' and associate it with 'official checking.' You don't need to worry about the complicated kanji yet; just know that when a shop clerk says 'shinsa ga arimasu,' they mean 'there is a screening process.' It is a formal word, so it sounds more serious than just 'checking' (checku).

At the A2 level, you can start using 審査 (shinsa) in simple sentences about your daily life in Japan. For example, if you are applying for an apartment or a credit card, you can say 'Shinsa ga kowai' (The screening is scary) or 'Shinsa ni tōtta' (I passed the screening). You should understand that this word is used for formal situations. You will also see this word at the airport immigration: 'Nyūkoku shinsa.' When the officer looks at your passport, that is a 'shinsa.' Try to remember that it often goes with the verb 'tōru' (to pass) or 'ochiru' (to fail/drop). This will help you navigate basic administrative tasks in Japan.

At the B1 level, you should be able to distinguish 審査 (shinsa) from similar words like 'kensa' (inspection) or 'chōsa' (investigation). You should understand that 'shinsa' involves a judgment based on criteria. For instance, in a speech contest or a job application, the 'shorui shinsa' (document screening) is the first step. You should be comfortable using the Suru-verb form 'shinsa suru' (to examine/judge). You might also encounter 'shinsain' (judge/examiner) in the context of TV shows or competitions. At this level, you should start recognizing the kanji 審査 and understanding that it implies a formal, rule-based process rather than a subjective opinion.

At the B2 level, you should use 審査 (shinsa) in professional and academic contexts. You should understand terms like 'shinsa-chū' (under review) and be able to explain the process of an application. For example, 'The loan screening process is rigorous' (Rōn no shinsa tetsuzuki wa kibishii). You should also be aware of the cultural weight of the word; in Japan, passing a 'shinsa' often implies a high level of trust or quality. You can use it to talk about peer-reviewed journals or official government screenings. Your vocabulary should include collocations like 'shinsa o ukeru' (to undergo an examination) and 'shinsa o tōsu' (to get something through the screening).

At the C1 level, you should have a nuanced understanding of 審査 (shinsa) as it applies to legal, political, and complex financial systems. You should be familiar with 'shihō shinsa' (judicial review) and how it functions within the Japanese legal framework. You should be able to discuss the 'shinsa kijun' (screening criteria) in detail, arguing whether they are fair or transparent. At this level, you can use the word to describe the vetting of political candidates or the due diligence in a merger and acquisition. You should also be able to use the word metaphorically or in high-level business negotiations, understanding the subtle differences between 'shinsa,' 'shingi' (deliberation), and 'satei' (assessment).

At the C2 level, your mastery of 審査 (shinsa) should be indistinguishable from a native speaker with a high level of education. You should be able to interpret complex legal documents or academic regulations that use the term. You can discuss the historical evolution of 'shinsa' systems in Japan, such as the changes in immigration law or the introduction of the lay judge system (saiban-in seido) and how it relates to 'shinsa.' You should be able to use the word in any context, from high-stakes international arbitration to the most formal academic defenses, with perfect grammatical accuracy and appropriate register. You understand that 'shinsa' is not just a check, but a foundational element of institutional trust and procedural justice in Japanese society.

審査 in 30 Sekunden

審査 (shinsa) is a formal noun meaning 'examination,' 'screening,' or 'judging' used by authorities.
It is commonly used for credit cards, apartment rentals, visa applications, and talent contests.
As a Suru-verb, it means to formally evaluate something against a specific set of rules.
Key collocations include 'shinsa ni tōru' (pass) and 'shinsa ni ochiru' (fail).

The Japanese word 審査 (しんさ - shinsa) is a formal noun that refers to the process of examination, judging, or screening. At its core, it represents a gatekeeping mechanism where an authority or a panel of experts evaluates a subject—be it a person, a document, or a performance—against a specific set of criteria to determine its validity, quality, or eligibility. Unlike a casual check, a shinsa is usually rigorous and carries significant consequences, such as the approval of a loan, the selection of a winner in a competition, or the granting of a professional license. It is a word that English speakers will encounter frequently when dealing with official systems in Japan, from banking and immigration to academic submissions and creative contests.

Financial Context: In the world of finance, 審査 is most commonly used for credit checks. When you apply for a credit card or a mortgage in Japan, the bank performs a 'shinsa' to evaluate your creditworthiness based on your income, employment history, and past financial behavior.

銀行のローン審査は非常に厳しいです。(The bank's loan screening is extremely strict.)

Creative and Competitive Context: When used in art, music, or sports, it refers to the judging process. The panel of judges is called the 審査員 (shinsain). They look at the technical skill and artistic expression to decide who moves to the next round or wins the grand prize.

コンテストの審査結果を待っています。(I am waiting for the contest judging results.)

Furthermore, 審査 is ubiquitous in professional and academic settings. For instance, when a research paper is submitted to a journal, it undergoes a peer review process, which in Japanese is described as a type of shinsa. Similarly, in the legal system, the deliberation of a jury or the review of evidence by a judge involves this word. It implies a level of objectivity and adherence to rules that differentiates it from words like 'evaluation' (評価 - hyōka), which can be more subjective. When you hear this word, you should immediately think of a formal hurdle that must be cleared through evidence and merit.

書類審査を通過した人だけが面接に進めます。(Only those who pass the document screening can proceed to the interview.)

Administrative Context: Governmental procedures, such as applying for a visa or a building permit, always involve a 審査 period where officials verify that all legal requirements have been met before issuing approval.

ビザの審査には二週間かかります。(The visa examination takes two weeks.)

厳正な審査の結果、彼が選ばれました。(As a result of a strict examination, he was chosen.)

Using 審査 (shinsa) correctly involves understanding its role as both a noun and a Suru-verb (shinsa suru). When used as a noun, it often pairs with verbs like tōru (to pass), ochiru (to fail), or ukeru (to undergo). For example, to say you passed the credit card screening, you would say 'kurejitto kādo no shinsa ni tōtta.' This structure is vital for everyday administrative tasks in Japan. Because the word is formal, it fits perfectly in business emails, official applications, and news reports. It is rarely used in casual slang, as it implies a structured process that doesn't exist in informal social interactions.

Pass/Fail Collocations: To pass: 審査を通る (shinsa o tōru) or 審査に合格する (shinsa ni gōkaku suru). To fail: 審査に落ちる (shinsa ni ochiru).

彼はクレジットカードの審査に落ちてしまった。(He unfortunately failed the credit card screening.)

The Judging Process: When acting as a judge, you use 審査する. For example, 'Saku-hin o shinsa suru' (to judge the works).

専門家があなたの作品を審査します。(Experts will judge your work.)

In the context of employment, 書類審査 (shorui shinsa) refers to the initial document screening where resumes are checked. This is the first hurdle in the Japanese hiring process. If you pass this, you move on to the interview phase. Understanding this specific term is crucial for anyone looking for work in Japan. Another common usage is 入国審査 (nyūkoku shinsa), which refers to the immigration inspection at the airport. Every traveler to Japan experiences this 'shinsa' before they can officially enter the country.

空港での入国審査はスムーズだった。(The immigration inspection at the airport was smooth.)

Legal and Formal Reviews: In legal settings, 司法審査 (shihō shinsa) refers to judicial review, a high-level legal process evaluating the constitutionality of laws.

その法律は司法審査の対象となった。(That law became the subject of judicial review.)

現在、あなたの申請は審査中です。(Your application is currently under review.)

The word 審査 (shinsa) is a staple of Japanese daily life, particularly in environments involving bureaucracy, finance, and media. If you are living in Japan, you will likely hear it first at the airport during nyūkoku shinsa (immigration). The officer will ask for your passport and purpose of visit, which is all part of the 'shinsa' process. Once in the country, if you decide to rent an apartment, the real estate agent will inform you about the nyūkyo shinsa (tenant screening). This is a stressful period for many foreigners as a management company or a guarantor company checks your stability and income before allowing you to move in.

On Television: Japanese variety shows often feature talent competitions or cooking contests. The judges sitting at the front are the 審査員 (shinsain). You will hear the announcer say, 'Shinsa no kekka o happyō shimasu!' (We will now announce the judging results!).

テレビ番組の歌の審査はとても公平だった。(The judging of the song on the TV program was very fair.)

In the Office: In a corporate setting, 'shinsa' occurs when a project proposal is being reviewed by upper management or a specific department like Compliance or Legal. It suggests a formal check for risks and adherence to company policy.

新しいプロジェクトの審査を通すのは大変だ。(It is hard to get the screening for the new project passed.)

In the academic world, the word is used for thesis defenses and grant applications. Students will talk about their 'shinsa' for their Master's or PhD thesis, which involves a rigorous questioning by a committee. Similarly, researchers wait for the 'shinsa' results of their grant proposals (kakenhi). In all these cases, the word carries a weight of authority and finality. You won't hear it when a friend is looking at your outfit to see if it looks good—that would be checku (check) or hyōka (evaluation). 'Shinsa' is reserved for when the stakes involve official approval or formal competition.

博士論文の審査は三時間も続いた。(The doctoral thesis examination lasted for three hours.)

In the App Store: Developers often talk about 'shinsa' regarding Apple or Google reviewing their apps. 'Apuri no shinsa ni jikan ga kakatte iru' (The app review is taking time) is a common complaint among Japanese tech workers.

最新バージョンのアプリが審査を通過しました。(The latest version of the app passed the review.)

One of the most common mistakes English speakers make is using 審査 (shinsa) when they should use 調査 (chōsa) or 検査 (kensa). While all three involve looking at something closely, their purposes are different. Chōsa means investigation or research—it is about gathering facts or data (e.g., a market survey). Kensa means inspection or test—it is about checking for defects, illness, or compliance with a physical standard (e.g., a medical checkup or a car inspection). Shinsa, however, is about making a judgment or a decision on eligibility or quality.

Shinsa vs. Chōsa: Mistake: 'The police are doing a shinsa on the crime.' Correct: 'The police are doing a chōsa (investigation).' Use 'shinsa' only if they are judging if someone is eligible for a program.

× 警察が事件の審査をしている。 (Incorrect usage for crime investigation)

Shinsa vs. Kensa: Mistake: 'I had a shinsa at the hospital.' Correct: 'I had a kensa (medical test).' Use 'shinsa' only if a board is judging if your medical condition qualifies you for disability benefits.

× 病院で血液の審査を受けた。 (Incorrect for blood test)

Another mistake is using 審査 (shinsa) when you mean 評価 (hyōka). Hyōka means evaluation or appraisal. You can 'evaluate' a movie or a person's performance without it being a formal 'screening.' For example, if you say 'My boss evaluated me,' you use hyōka. If you say 'The committee screened me for a promotion,' you might use shinsa. English speakers often over-use 'shinsa' because it sounds like 'censor' or 'assess,' but it is much more specific to formal gatekeeping.

× 友達が私の服を審査した。 (Too formal for a friend checking your clothes)

Register Errors: Using 'shinsa' in a casual conversation with friends can sound overly dramatic or robotic. Stick to 'checku' or 'mita' (looked at) unless you are jokingly pretending to be a formal judge.

○ 友達が私の服をチェックした。 (Natural for casual contexts)

Understanding the nuances between 審査 (shinsa) and its synonyms will help you sound more like a native speaker. While 'shinsa' is about screening and judging, other words cover related but distinct territory. For example, 選考 (senkō) is specifically used for 'selection' in the context of job hiring or admissions. While a 'shinsa' might be part of the 'senkō,' the latter focuses on the act of picking the best candidate from a pool.

選考 (Senkō) vs 審査 (Shinsa): Senkō: 'Selection.' Used when choosing 1 person out of 10. Shinsa: 'Examination.' Used when checking if the 1 person meets the minimum standards.

査定 (Satei): This word means 'assessment' or 'appraisal,' often in financial terms like taxes or property value. While 'shinsa' determines if you get a loan, 'satei' determines how much your used car is worth.

中古車の査定をお願いしました。(I asked for an appraisal of my used car.)

鑑定 (Kantei): This is used for expert judgment of authenticity or value, like for antiques, gems, or fine art. You see this on TV shows where experts decide if a pot is a real Ming dynasty artifact.

この絵の鑑定は難しい。(The expert appraisal of this painting is difficult.)

Another alternative is 検定 (kentei). This refers to official certification exams, like the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) or a math certification. While 'shinsa' is a process, 'kentei' is the category of the test itself. Lastly, 審議 (shingi) refers to 'deliberation' or 'discussion,' usually by a council or parliament. While 'shinsa' is the check, 'shingi' is the formal debate that happens during that check. Choosing the right word demonstrates a high level of Japanese proficiency and an understanding of Japanese social structures.

国会で予算案が審議されている。(The budget proposal is being deliberated in the Diet.)
