検証 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Verification of truth or accuracy through evidence and rigorous testing.
- Commonly used in science, IT, law, and formal business reports.
- More formal and deeper than 'kakunin' (simple check).
- Often used as a suru-verb (kenshō-suru) meaning 'to verify'.
The Japanese word 検証 (けんしょう - kenshō) is a sophisticated noun that translates to 'verification,' 'validation,' or 'inspection.' At its core, it represents the systematic process of determining whether a statement, theory, hypothesis, or piece of data is accurate and true based on objective evidence. Unlike a simple 'check' (確認 - kakunin), which might be a casual glance to see if something is there, kenshō implies a rigorous, often scientific or formal, investigation. It is the bridge between a claim and a fact.
- Etymology
- The first kanji, 検 (ken), means to examine, investigate, or inspect. The second kanji, 証 (shō), means proof, evidence, or certificate. Together, they literally mean 'examining the proof.'
- Nuance
- It carries a weight of authority and objectivity. You don't just 'kenshō' your grocery list; you 'kenshō' a scientific theory or a software bug fix.
「新しいシステムの動作を検証する必要があります。」 (We need to verify the operation of the new system.)
In modern usage, 検証 is ubiquitous in the technology sector. When a developer writes code, they must perform 'verification' to ensure it meets requirements. In the legal world, '現場検証' (genba kenshō) refers to a crime scene investigation where police verify the physical evidence against witness statements. The word demands a high level of scrutiny.
「仮説を検証するための実験を行う。」 (Conduct an experiment to verify the hypothesis.)
Furthermore, 検証 is often used in the context of 'fact-checking' in journalism. With the rise of social media, '情報の検証' (verification of information) has become a critical skill. It involves looking at metadata, cross-referencing sources, and ensuring that what is being reported is not just a rumor but a verifiable fact.
「そのニュースの真偽を検証する。」 (Verify the truth or falsehood of that news.)
- Formal vs. Informal
- This word is strictly formal. In casual conversation, people use '確かめる' (tashikameru) or 'チェックする' (chekku suru).
Using 検証 (けんしょう) correctly requires understanding its role as a 'Suru-verb' (noun + suru). It typically follows the pattern: [Object] + を + 検証する. The object is usually something abstract like a theory, a result, a process, or a claim.
Common Grammatical Patterns
- 仮説を検証する: To verify a hypothesis. This is the gold standard for scientific papers.
- 効果を検証する: To verify the effectiveness. Used in marketing (e.g., 'Did the ad campaign work?') or medicine (e.g., 'Does the drug work?').
- 妥当性を検証する: To verify the validity. Often used in academic or legal arguments to see if a logic holds up.
「このデータは再検証が必要です。」 (This data needs re-verification.)
The prefix 再 (sai) is frequently attached to form 再検証 (saikenshō), meaning 're-verification.' This occurs when initial results are doubted or when a second layer of security is required. In the software development lifecycle (SDLC), after a bug is fixed, '再検証' is performed to ensure the fix actually works and hasn't broken anything else.
- Collocation: 検証を行う
- Instead of just saying '検証する', professionals often say '検証を行う' (kenshō o okonau - to conduct verification) to sound more formal and deliberate.
In a sentence, 検証 can also act as a modifier. For example, 検証作業 (kenshō sagyō) means 'verification work' or 'testing tasks.' This is common in project management schedules. If you are in a meeting and want to ask if something has been proven, you might ask, '検証は済みましたか？' (Kenshō wa sumimashita ka? - Is the verification finished?).
「理論の正しさを検証するために、数式を用いる。」 (Use mathematical formulas to verify the correctness of the theory.)
You will encounter 検証 in environments where accuracy and truth are paramount. It is not a word for the dinner table, but it is a word for the laboratory, the courtroom, and the server room.
1. The Scientific & Academic World
In research papers and university lectures, kenshō is the standard term for testing a hypothesis. You will hear professors talk about '実験的検証' (jikken-teki kenshō - experimental verification). If a study's results cannot be replicated, the '検証可能性' (kenshō kanō-sei - verifiability) is questioned.
2. Information Technology (IT)
This is perhaps the most common place to hear the word today. Quality Assurance (QA) engineers spend their whole day on 検証. They verify that the software behaves as specified. You'll hear terms like '動作検証' (dōsa kenshō - operational verification) or '環境検証' (kankyō kenshō - environment verification).
「本番環境での検証は慎重に行ってください。」 (Please conduct the verification in the production environment carefully.)
3. Legal and Law Enforcement
When a crime occurs, the police perform a '現場検証' (genba kenshō). This is a specific legal term for an on-site investigation. You will see this in detective dramas and news reports. It involves recreating the scene to see if the evidence matches the suspect's story.
4. Journalism and Media
News programs often have segments called 'ファクトチェック・検証' (Fact-check/Verification). They take a viral video or a politician's statement and '検証' it to see if it's true. This is often contrasted with '憶測' (okusoku - speculation).
- Media Example
- 'SNSで拡散された情報の検証番組' (A program verifying information spread on SNS).
While 検証 is a powerful word, it is often misused by learners who confuse it with other 'checking' words. Here are the most common pitfalls.
1. Confusing with 確認 (Kakunin)
確認 means 'confirmation' or 'check.' It is used for simple things: checking if you have your keys, confirming a reservation, or checking the time. 検証 is much deeper. You 'kakunin' that the door is locked; you 'kenshō' the security system's vulnerability to hacking.
- ❌ Incorrect
- 「明日の時間を検証してください。」 (Please verify tomorrow's time - sounds like you're investigating if time itself exists.)
- ✅ Correct
- 「明日の時間を確認してください。」 (Please confirm tomorrow's time.)
2. Confusing with 調査 (Chōsa)
調査 means 'investigation' or 'survey.' It is the act of gathering data. 検証 is the act of *testing* that data against a standard or hypothesis. You might do a 'chōsa' to find out how many people like apples, but you do a 'kenshō' to see if the claim 'apples make you smarter' is actually true.
3. Using it for Subjective Things
検証 requires objective evidence. You cannot 'verify' if a painting is beautiful or if a person is 'nice.' These are matters of opinion. You can only 'verify' facts, functions, and logical consistency.
「彼の優しさを検証する。」 (Verifying his kindness - sounds cold and robotic, like a social experiment.)
Japanese has several words that overlap with 検証. Understanding the nuances between them will elevate your fluency.
1. 実証 (Jisshō) - Demonstration/Proof by Fact
While 検証 is the *process* of verifying, 実証 is the act of proving something through actual results or historical facts. If '検証' is the test, '実証' is the successful proof. '実証済み' (jisshō-zumi) means 'proven in practice.'
2. 証明 (Shōmei) - Proof/Certification
証明 is more about the final evidence or the logical proof (like in math). You 'shōmei' your identity with an ID card. You 'kenshō' a theory to provide 'shōmei' for it.
3. 考察 (Kōsatsu) - Consideration/Study
In academic papers, 考察 is the 'discussion' or 'consideration' section. It's more about thinking deeply and analyzing. 検証 is more about the physical or logical testing.

4. 点検 (Tenken) - Inspection/Maintenance
This is used for physical machines or equipment. You 'tenken' an elevator or a car engine. You 'kenshō' the software that runs the elevator.
「理論を検証し、事実を実証する。」 (Verify the theory and prove the facts.)

سوالات متداول
10 سوالNo, '検証' is too formal for daily chores. You should use '確認' (kakunin) for things like checking if you turned off the stove or if you have your keys. Using '検証' for these would sound like you are treating your life like a scientific experiment. It is reserved for formal, evidence-based investigations. Stick to 'kakunin' for everyday life.
The difference is subtle but important. '検証' (kenshō) is the process of testing or verifying a claim or hypothesis. '実証' (jisshō) is the act of proving something through actual facts or results. You can think of '検証' as the 'test' and '実証' as the 'proof' that comes from the test. '実証済み' means something has already been proven to work in the real world.
It is rare in casual conversation unless you are being ironic or talking about a specific serious topic like a news story or a bug in a video game. If you use it while talking to friends about dinner plans, it will sound very stiff. Instead, use '確かめる' (tashikameru) or 'チェックする' (chekku suru). It's best kept for work or study contexts.
It literally means 'on-site verification.' In practice, it refers to a crime scene investigation or an accident site inspection conducted by the police or experts. They go to the physical location to verify if the evidence matches the reports or witness statements. It is a very common term in Japanese detective media and news. It is a formal legal procedure.
While 'ファクトチェック' (fakuto chekku) is used, '情報の検証' (jōhō no kenshō) is the formal way to say it. Many news organizations have a '検証' department or segment. It implies looking for the truth behind a claim. It is a very common term in the context of social media and journalism today. It sounds more professional than the English loanword.
Yes, it is typically considered an N2 level word. It appears frequently in the reading section of the JLPT, especially in essays about science, technology, or society. Understanding its nuance is key to answering questions about the author's methodology or the purpose of an experiment. It is a high-frequency word in academic texts. You should definitely learn it for higher-level exams.
Generally, no. You verify facts, theories, and systems, not people. You might 'verify a person's identity' (身元を検証する - though 'kakunin' is more common here), but you don't 'verify a person' themselves. If you say '彼を検証する,' it sounds like you are treating him like a specimen in a lab. Use '調べる' (shiraberu) to talk about looking into someone.
'動作検証' (dōsa kenshō) means 'operational verification.' It is a standard IT term. It refers to the process of checking if a piece of software or hardware works as intended. If you are a programmer or work in tech, you will use this phrase almost every day. It's often shortened to just '検証' in a tech office. It ensures the product is ready for users.
There isn't a single perfect opposite, but '憶測' (okusoku - speculation) or '推測' (suisoku - guess) are often used as contrasts. '検証' is based on evidence, while '憶測' is based on imagination or incomplete info. Another contrast is '捏造' (netsuzō - fabrication), which is making up false data instead of verifying the truth. '放置' (hōchi - neglect) can also be an opposite in a process sense.
Yes, but '証明' (shōmei - proof) is more common for the final result. '検証' might be used for the process of checking if a specific value satisfies an equation or if a computer model's results are correct. In computer science, '形式検証' (formal verification) is a mathematical way of proving that a program is correct. It is a very high-level and precise use of the word.
