誠意 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 誠意 means sincerity, honesty, and genuine intention.
- It's about acting with a true heart and good faith.
- Often used in apologies, offers, and business dealings.
- Emphasizes earnestness and commitment.
- Core Meaning
- The Japanese word 誠意 (せい, sei, i) translates to sincerity, honesty, or genuineness. It refers to a state of being true to one's feelings, intentions, and actions, without pretense or deception. It's about having a pure heart and acting in good faith.
- Nuance
- While often translated as 'sincerity,' 誠意 carries a strong implication of earnestness and a genuine desire to do what is right or to fulfill one's obligations. It's not just about feeling sincere; it's about demonstrating that sincerity through actions and a committed attitude.
- Usage Contexts
- You'll encounter 誠意 in various situations, particularly in interpersonal relationships, business dealings, and apologies. When someone offers a gift, a service, or an apology with 誠意, it means they are doing so with genuine good intentions and a true desire to make things right or express their feelings honestly. It's often used in formal contexts to emphasize the seriousness and authenticity of an offer or statement.
- Beyond Simple Honesty
- Think of it as a deeper form of honesty. It's not just about not lying; it's about acting with a pure and earnest heart. When someone says they are acting with 誠意, they are assuring you that their intentions are pure and their actions are backed by a genuine commitment. This is particularly important in Japanese culture where maintaining harmony and trust is highly valued.
- Business and Formal Settings
- In business, expressing 誠意 is crucial for building long-term relationships. It can be seen in how a company handles customer complaints, negotiates contracts, or offers compensation. A sincere apology, for example, often involves more than just words; it includes demonstrating 誠意 through actions that show a genuine regret and a commitment to preventing future issues. This concept underpins much of Japanese business etiquette and the emphasis on building trust and reliability.
彼は誠意を持って謝罪した。
- Expressing Genuine Intent
- The most common way to use 誠意 is to indicate that an action is performed with genuine intention. For instance, when someone offers help, a gift, or an apology, they might emphasize their 誠意 to assure the recipient of their true feelings. Phrases like 「誠意を込めて」(seii o komete - with sincerity) are frequently used to convey this.
- In Apologies and Explanations
- When apologizing for a mistake, expressing 誠意 is crucial. It shows that the apology is not just a formality but a heartfelt expression of regret. Similarly, when explaining a difficult situation or making a proposal, demonstrating 誠意 can help build trust and understanding. For example, a business might say they are making a proposal with 誠意 to show they genuinely believe it will benefit both parties.
- Describing Actions and Attitudes
- You can also use 誠意 to describe someone's attitude or the nature of their actions. For example, you might praise someone for their 誠意 in handling a difficult task or for their 誠意 towards a friend. This implies that their approach is honest, dedicated, and without ulterior motives. It highlights the quality of their character and their commitment.
- In Negotiations and Agreements
- In business or any negotiation, proposing a deal with 誠意 signifies a genuine desire for a mutually beneficial outcome. It suggests that the offer is made in good faith and with a commitment to fairness. This is often a key element in establishing trust and reaching a successful agreement. A company might state that they are offering terms with 誠意 to emphasize their good intentions.
- As a Noun Phrase
- 誠意 can stand alone as a noun, referring to the quality of sincerity itself. For instance, one might say, 「彼の誠意は感じられた」(Kare no seii wa kanjirareta - His sincerity was felt). This emphasizes the abstract concept of genuineness and earnestness.
この提案は誠意をもって行われています。
- Business Negotiations
- In business meetings, especially when discussing contracts, partnerships, or resolving disputes, you'll frequently hear 誠意 used. A Japanese business person might say, 「弊社は誠意をもってこの件に対応いたします。」(Heisha wa seii o motte kono ken ni taiō itashimasu - Our company will respond to this matter with sincerity.) This assures the other party of their genuine intention to find a fair resolution.
- Formal Apologies
- When a company or an individual makes a formal apology, especially for significant mistakes or inconveniences, the word 誠意 often appears. They might express 「心からの誠意を伝えたい」(kokoro kara no seii o tsutaetai - I want to convey my heartfelt sincerity). This emphasizes that the apology is not superficial and that they genuinely regret the situation.
- Customer Service
- In customer service interactions, especially when addressing complaints or offering solutions, staff might use 誠意 to convey their genuine desire to help. For example, a hotel receptionist might say, 「お客様に誠意をもって対応させていただきます。」(Okyakusama ni seii o motte taiō sasete itadakimasu - We will serve you with sincerity.)
- Personal Relationships
- While perhaps less common in casual everyday chat, 誠意 can be used in more serious personal conversations, such as when making a promise, offering a heartfelt compliment, or resolving a significant misunderstanding. Someone might say, 「私の誠意を信じてください。」(Watashi no seii o shinjite kudasai - Please believe in my sincerity.)
- Legal and Formal Documents
- In formal documents, contracts, or official statements, 誠意 might be used to describe the spirit in which an agreement is made or an action is taken. It adds a layer of assurance regarding the integrity and genuine nature of the commitment.
お客様のご要望には誠意をもって対応いたします。
- Confusing with Simple Honesty
- A common mistake is to equate 誠意 solely with 'honesty' or 'truthfulness.' While honesty is a component, 誠意 implies a deeper level of earnestness, a genuine desire to do good, and a commitment to one's intentions. Simply stating facts without genuine feeling or good intent doesn't fully capture 誠意.
- Overuse in Casual Conversation
- Using 誠意 too frequently in very casual or informal settings can sound overly dramatic or even insincere. It's a word that carries weight and is best reserved for situations where genuine earnestness and good intentions need to be emphasized, such as apologies, important offers, or serious commitments.
- Ignoring the Action Component
- Some learners might think that saying "I have 誠意" is enough. However, 誠意 is often demonstrated through actions. If someone claims to have 誠意 but their subsequent actions contradict it, their claim will be seen as hollow. The word implies a commitment that should be visible in behavior.
- Misinterpreting 'Sincerity' in Different Cultures
- In some Western cultures, 'sincerity' can sometimes be expressed through directness and bluntness. In Japanese culture, 誠意 is often conveyed through careful consideration, respectful actions, and a genuine desire to build harmony. A direct translation might miss the cultural nuance of earnest consideration and commitment.
- Using it as a Vague Excuse
- Occasionally, 誠意 might be used vaguely to justify an action or a position without providing concrete reasons. For example, saying "It's out of 誠意" without further explanation can be confusing. It's important to couple the statement of 誠意 with clear intentions or actions.
彼は誠意があると言ったが、行動が伴わなかった。
- 誠実 (せいじつ - seijitsu)
- Comparison: 誠実 also means sincerity or honesty, but it often emphasizes faithfulness, integrity, and reliability. While 誠意 focuses on the earnestness of one's intentions and actions in a specific situation, 誠実 describes a more general character trait of being dependable and morally upright. You can be 誠実 in your general demeanor, while you might show 誠意 in a particular instance of apology or offer.
- 真面目 (まじめ - majime)
- Comparison: 真面目 means serious, earnest, or diligent. It describes someone who takes things seriously and works hard. While a 真面目 person is likely to act with 誠意, 誠意 itself is about the genuineness of intention, not just the seriousness of approach. You can be serious about something without necessarily demonstrating deep 誠意, and vice versa.
- 真心 (まごころ - magokoro)
- Comparison: 真心 translates to 'true heart' or 'sincere heart.' It's very close to 誠意 in meaning, often referring to pure, unadulterated feelings and intentions. 真心 can be seen as the inner feeling of sincerity, while 誠意 is often about the outward demonstration and commitment of that sincerity, especially in actions or offers.
- 本心 (ほんしん - honshin)
- Comparison: 本心 means one's 'true feelings' or 'real intentions.' It's about what someone genuinely thinks or feels, as opposed to what they might say or pretend. While 誠意 involves acting in accordance with one's 本心, 誠意 specifically refers to the earnest and genuine nature of those actions and intentions, often with an implication of good faith.
- 善意 (ぜんい - zen'i)
- Comparison: 善意 means 'goodwill' or 'benevolent intention.' It's about having positive intentions towards others. 誠意 can include 善意, but 誠意 is broader; it emphasizes the genuineness and earnestness of one's commitment, whether it's to apologize, make an offer, or fulfill a duty. 善意 is specifically about having good intentions, while 誠意 is about the earnest and sincere way one acts upon their intentions, which are often good.
彼の誠実な人柄は誰もが知っている。

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
While both mean sincerity/honesty, 誠実 often refers to a person's inherent character of integrity and reliability, whereas 誠意 is more about the genuine intention and earnestness in a specific action or situation.
真心 means 'true heart' and is very close in meaning. However, 誠意 can sometimes imply a more active demonstration of that sincerity through actions or offers.
善意 means goodwill or benevolent intention. 誠意 encompasses this but also emphasizes the earnestness and genuineness of the commitment, not just the positive intent.

Formal/Emphaticبهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both words relate to honesty and sincerity.
誠実 is often about a person's inherent character—their integrity, faithfulness, and reliability. It's a stable trait. 誠意, on the other hand, is more about the sincerity and genuineness of intention in a particular action, offer, or apology. You show 誠意 in a specific instance, while you possess 誠実 as a general quality.
彼は<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠実</mark>な人だから、<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠意</mark>をもって謝罪すれば許されるだろう。(He is a person of integrity, so if he apologizes with sincerity, he will likely be forgiven.)
Both convey a sense of pure and genuine feeling.
真心 translates to 'true heart' and emphasizes the purity and unadulterated nature of one's feelings. It's the inner essence of sincerity. 誠意 is often the outward manifestation and demonstration of that inner sincerity, especially through actions, commitments, and earnest efforts. You might have 真心, and you demonstrate 誠意.
彼女の<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>真心</mark>が<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠意</mark>となって相手に伝わった。(Her true heart was conveyed to the other person as sincerity.)
Both relate to positive intentions towards others.
善意 specifically means 'goodwill' or 'benevolent intention'—the desire to do good for someone. 誠意 is broader; it refers to the earnestness and genuineness of one's commitment and actions, which are often driven by goodwill but can also apply to fulfilling duties or making amends. 誠意 is about the sincere *way* you act, which is often fueled by 善意.
彼の<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>善意</mark>による行動は、<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠意</mark>をもって受け止められた。(His actions, driven by goodwill, were received with sincerity.)
Both mean sincere and earnest, often used in formal contexts.
真摯 emphasizes a serious, heartfelt, and earnest approach, often implying a deep sense of gravity or importance. 誠意 is also sincere and earnest but can be more focused on the genuine intention behind an action or offer, especially in building trust or making amends. While related, 真摯 might describe the *manner* of being sincere in a very serious situation, whereas 誠意 is the sincerity itself being demonstrated.
彼は<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>真摯</mark>な態度で<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠意</mark>ある謝罪をした。(He made a sincere apology with an earnest attitude.)
Both relate to truthfulness and honesty.
正直 simply means 'honest' or 'truthful,' focusing on the accuracy of statements or facts. 誠意 goes beyond mere truthfulness; it implies an earnest and genuine intention to do what is right, to be fair, or to act with good faith. One can be 正直 in stating facts, but that doesn't automatically mean they are acting with 誠意.
彼は<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>正直</mark>に事実を話したが、<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>誠意</mark>は感じられなかった。(He spoke the facts honestly, but I couldn't feel his sincerity.)

نحوه استفاده
Common, especially in formal and business contexts.
-
Confusing 誠意 with simple honesty.
→
誠意 implies deeper earnestness and genuine intent beyond just stating facts.
While honesty is part of 誠意, the word emphasizes a proactive commitment to good faith and sincere action, particularly in sensitive situations like apologies or important offers. It's about the 'how' of your actions, not just the 'what'.
-
Using 誠意 too casually in everyday conversation.
→
Reserve 誠意 for situations where genuine intention or deep commitment needs to be emphasized.
The word 誠意 carries weight and a formal tone. Using it in very informal settings can sound overly dramatic or even insincere. It's best suited for contexts where seriousness and earnestness are appropriate.
-
Claiming 誠意 without demonstrating it through actions.
→
Back up claims of 誠意 with consistent and genuine actions.
In Japanese culture, sincerity is often judged by actions. Stating one has 誠意 is less impactful than showing it through concrete steps, commitment, or transparent behavior. Lack of action makes the claim of 誠意 hollow.
-
Translating 誠意 as just 'sincerity' without considering the cultural context.
→
Understand that 誠意 implies a strong emphasis on earnestness, good faith, and commitment, often in a way that builds trust.
In some English-speaking cultures, 'sincerity' can be expressed through directness. In Japan, 誠意 often involves careful consideration, respectful actions, and a genuine desire for harmony, making it a deeper concept than simple truthfulness.
-
Using 誠意 in a situation that calls for a more general term like 'kindness' or 'helpfulness'.
→
Use 誠意 when the core message is about genuine intention, earnestness, and good faith, especially in contexts of commitment, apology, or important offers.
While 誠意 implies positive feelings, it's more specific than general kindness. It highlights the depth and earnestness of the intention behind an action, often with an implication of reliability and integrity.
نکات
Demonstrate, Don't Just State
Simply saying you have 誠意 is less impactful than demonstrating it through your actions. Ensure your behavior aligns with your words, especially in apologies or when making commitments.
Formal vs. Informal
While 誠意 can be used informally with emphasis, it is most commonly found and most impactful in formal or serious situations like business dealings, formal apologies, or serious relationship discussions.
Beyond Honesty
Remember that 誠意 is more than just being truthful. It encompasses earnestness, genuine intention, and a commitment to acting with good faith. Think of it as 'sincere intention plus earnest action'.
誠意 vs. 誠実
While related, 誠意 focuses on the sincerity of intention in a specific act, while 誠実 refers to a person's overall character of integrity and faithfulness. Use 誠意 for actions and 誠実 for personality traits.
Sound Association
Connect the sound 'seii' to 'say-ee'. When you are sincere, you are ready to 'say it' with all your heart. Visualize a person with a glowing heart saying 'Seii!'.
Building Trust
In Japanese culture, demonstrating 誠意 is vital for building and maintaining trust. It's a key element in fostering strong relationships and ensuring smooth interactions.
Writing Effectively
When writing, use phrases like 誠意を込めて or 誠意ある対応 to convey genuine intent. Ensure the surrounding text supports the claim of sincerity.
Conveying Tone
When speaking, your tone of voice should match the word 誠意. A sincere tone will reinforce the meaning, while a flat or insincere tone can undermine it.
Recognizing Insincerity
Be aware of the opposite, 不誠実 (fuseijitsu - insincerity), which signifies deceit or a lack of genuine intention. Recognizing this helps you understand the positive value of 誠意.
Active Use
Try to incorporate 誠意 into your practice sentences. Use it when you mean to express genuine feelings, make a serious offer, or offer a heartfelt apology.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of 'Say E!' when you want to be sincere. The sound 'seii' is similar to 'say-ee'. When you genuinely mean something, you might want to 'say it' with all your heart.
تداعی تصویری
Imagine a heart (symbolizing feelings) with a checkmark inside (symbolizing truth/sincerity). The kanji 誠 looks a bit like a stylized 'truth' symbol, and 意 is like a 'mind' or 'thought bubble'. So, a sincere mind.

چالش
Try to use 誠意 in a sentence when you want to express that you are offering something or apologizing with your whole heart. For example, 'I offer this apology with 誠意.' or 'This gift is given with 誠意.'
ریشه کلمه
The word 誠意 is composed of two kanji: 誠 (sei) and 意 (i). The kanji 誠 means 'truth,' 'sincerity,' or 'honesty.' The kanji 意 means 'mind,' 'intention,' or 'meaning.' Together, they literally mean 'sincere intention' or 'honest mind.'
معنای اصلی: The combination of 'truth/sincerity' and 'intention/mind' directly points to the concept of having genuine and honest thoughts and intentions.

Using 誠意 appropriately demonstrates respect and seriousness. Misusing it or using it in a superficial manner can be perceived negatively, implying insincerity or manipulation. It is generally used in contexts where earnestness and good faith are important.
While 'sincerity' is the direct translation, the Japanese concept of 誠意 often carries a stronger implication of earnestness and active demonstration of good faith, particularly in formal or business settings. It's more than just not lying; it's about a proactive commitment to being truthful and acting with good intentions.

10 سوالWhile both relate to sincerity and honesty, 誠実 (seijitsu) often describes a person's inherent character—their integrity, faithfulness, and reliability. It's a stable trait. 誠意 (seii), on the other hand, refers more to the genuine intention and earnestness demonstrated in a specific action, offer, or apology. You possess 誠実 as a quality, but you show 誠意 in a particular instance to build trust or make amends.
Generally, 誠意 is used in more formal or serious contexts. While it can be used in informal settings to emphasize deep sincerity (e.g., 'マジで誠意だよ！' - 'I'm really sincere!'), it's often reserved for situations like apologies, important offers, or when you want to convey a strong sense of good faith and commitment. Overuse in very casual chat might sound overly dramatic or insincere.
誠意 is often demonstrated through actions that align with one's words and intentions. This can include making a genuine apology, offering a fair deal, being transparent, making an effort to resolve issues, or showing consistent commitment. It's about backing up the claim of sincerity with tangible proof.
Yes, 誠意 often includes goodwill (善意 - zen'i). However, 誠意 is broader. It emphasizes the earnestness and genuineness of one's commitment and actions, which are frequently driven by goodwill. So, while goodwill is a positive intention, 誠意 is about the sincere *way* you act upon those intentions and commitments.
'誠意を込めて' means 'with sincerity' or 'wholeheartedly.' It's a common adverbial phrase used to describe an action performed with genuine feelings and earnest intention. For example, 'This gift was made with 誠意を込めて' (This gift was made wholeheartedly).
In business, 誠意 is crucial for building trust and long-term relationships. It's used when making proposals, handling customer complaints, negotiating contracts, or offering apologies. It assures the other party that the actions are taken with good faith and genuine intent to achieve a fair and positive outcome.
Common mistakes include equating it solely with simple honesty (it implies more earnestness), using it too casually, ignoring the need to demonstrate it through actions, or not understanding its cultural nuance of emphasizing commitment and good faith.
When apologizing, saying something like, 「深く反省しており、誠意をもって対応させていただきます。」(I deeply regret this and will respond with sincerity.) shows that the apology is heartfelt and backed by a commitment to rectify the situation.
The direct antonym is 不誠実 (fuseijitsu), meaning insincerity or dishonesty. Other related concepts that are opposite to 誠意 include 偽り (itsuwari - falsehood/deception) and 不信 (fushin - distrust).
誠意 is fundamental to building trust. When someone demonstrates 誠意 through their actions and words, it assures others of their honesty, good intentions, and reliability, which are the cornerstones of trust in any relationship, whether personal or professional.

- Often used in apologies, offers, and business dealings.

Demonstrate, Don't Just State
Simply saying you have 誠意 is less impactful than demonstrating it through your actions. Ensure your behavior aligns with your words, especially in apologies or when making commitments.
Formal vs. Informal
While 誠意 can be used informally with emphasis, it is most commonly found and most impactful in formal or serious situations like business dealings, formal apologies, or serious relationship discussions.
Beyond Honesty
Remember that 誠意 is more than just being truthful. It encompasses earnestness, genuine intention, and a commitment to acting with good faith. Think of it as 'sincere intention plus earnest action'.
誠意 vs. 誠実
While related, 誠意 focuses on the sincerity of intention in a specific act, while 誠実 refers to a person's overall character of integrity and faithfulness. Use 誠意 for actions and 誠実 for personality traits.
