~について
~について 30 सेकंड में
- Used to indicate the topic or subject matter of speech, thought, or investigation, similar to 'about' in English.
- Always follows a noun (Noun + について) and is typically followed by verbs like 'to talk' or 'to think'.
- Can be turned into an adjective by adding 'no' (Noun + についての + Noun) to describe another noun.
- Essential for moving beyond basic sentences to more detailed descriptions and discussions in Japanese.
The Japanese particle compound ~について (ni tsuite) is one of the most fundamental tools for indicating the topic or subject matter of a thought, speech, or piece of writing. In English, it is most commonly translated as 'about,' 'concerning,' or 'regarding.' While the basic topic marker wa introduces what you are talking about in a general sense, ni tsuite specifically points to the content or the 'target' of verbs related to communication, cognition, and investigation. It acts as a bridge between a noun and a verb, signaling that the action of the verb is directed toward the details of that noun.
- Core Function
- It marks the object of study, discussion, or thought, providing a specific focus for the sentence.
将来の夢について作文を書きました。
(I wrote an essay about my dreams for the future.)
People use this expression in almost every register of Japanese, from casual chats with friends to formal academic presentations. Whenever you need to specify the 'theme' of your conversation, this is your go-to phrase. For instance, if you are at a meeting and want to discuss a new project, you would use ni tsuite. If you are asking a friend for their opinion on a movie, you would use ni tsuite. It is versatile because it can be followed by a wide variety of verbs like hanasu (to speak), kangaeru (to think), shiraberu (to investigate), and oshieru (to teach).
- Grammatical Connection
- It always follows a noun. If you want to use it with a verb, you must first nominalize the verb using koto or no.
日本の歴史についてもっと知りたいです。
(I want to know more about Japanese history.)
In daily life, you will hear it in phrases like 'Sore ni tsuite wa...' (As for that...) or 'Kono ken ni tsuite' (Regarding this matter). It is a polite and clear way to set the stage for what you are about to say. Without it, Japanese sentences can sometimes feel too vague; ni tsuite provides the necessary precision to ensure your listener knows exactly what subject you are addressing.
The construction of ~について is straightforward but requires attention to the words that follow it. The basic formula is [Noun] + について + [Verb]. The verb is usually one that involves mental or communicative activity. You cannot simply use it with any verb; for example, you wouldn't say 'I ate about an apple' using ni tsuite. It must be 'I talked about an apple' or 'I thought about an apple.'
- Noun Modification
- To use ni tsuite to modify another noun, you must add no to make it ~についての [Noun]. For example, 'A book about Japan' is 'Nihon ni tsuite no hon.'
新しい計画についての会議があります。
(There is a meeting about the new plan.)
When using ni tsuite in a sentence, the particle wa can be added to the end (ni tsuite wa) to emphasize the topic or to create a contrast. For example, 'Regarding the price, it is expensive' would be 'Nedan ni tsuite wa, takai desu.' This suggests that while the price might be high, other aspects (like quality) might be different. This nuance is vital for intermediate learners to master as it adds layers of meaning to their speech.
彼が言ったことについて考えました。
(I thought about what he said.)
Common verbs that pair with ni tsuite include:
- 話す (hanasu) - to talk
- 書く (kaku) - to write
- 調べる (shiraberu) - to investigate/search
- 聞く (kiku) - to ask/hear
- 考える (kangaeru) - to think
You will encounter ~について in a vast array of real-world situations. In a Japanese classroom, the teacher might start the lesson by saying, 'Kyou wa, Edo-jidai ni tsuite benkyou shimasu' (Today, we will study about the Edo period). In a business setting, a manager might open a presentation with 'Shin-seihin ni tsuite go-setsumei itashimasu' (I will explain about the new product). It is the standard way to introduce a specific agenda item.
このニュースについてどう思いますか?
(What do you think about this news?)
On television news programs, anchors use it constantly to introduce reports: 'Kino no jiken ni tsuite, atarashii jouhou ga hairimashita' (New information has come in regarding yesterday's incident). In literature and journalism, it is used to define the scope of an article or a chapter. Even in casual settings, though sometimes replaced by 'no koto,' ni tsuite remains very common when the speaker wants to be clear or is discussing something slightly more serious than just daily gossip.
If you watch Japanese YouTubers or listen to podcasts, you'll notice they often use it in their titles: 'Saikin katta mono ni tsuite' (About the things I bought recently). This helps viewers immediately understand the theme of the video. In professional emails, it is almost mandatory to use ni tsuite or its formal cousin ni kanshite in the subject line or the opening paragraph to state the purpose of the correspondence.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is using ~について where only the particle wa or o is needed. For example, saying 'Sushi ni tsuite suki desu' (I like about sushi) is incorrect. In Japanese, you simply say 'Sushi ga suki desu.' Ni tsuite is for the *topic* of an action like talking or thinking, not for the direct object of a feeling or a simple state.
- Mistake 1: Overuse
- Don't use it for likes/dislikes or simple existence. Use 'ga' or 'wa' instead.
❌ 家族について愛しています。
✅ 家族を愛しています。
(I love my family.)
Another common error is forgetting the no when modifying a noun. You cannot say 'Nihon ni tsuite hon' for 'a book about Japan.' It must be 'Nihon ni tsuite no hon.' The no particle is the glue that allows the ni tsuite phrase to act as an adjective for the following noun.
Lastly, learners often confuse ni tsuite with ni totte (for / from the perspective of). While they both start with ni, they have completely different meanings. 'Watashi ni tsuite' means 'about me,' while 'Watashi ni totte' means 'for me' or 'in my opinion.' Mixing these up can lead to significant misunderstandings in conversation.
While ~について is the most common way to say 'about,' there are several alternatives depending on the level of formality and the specific nuance you want to convey. Understanding these differences will help you sound more like a native speaker.
- ~に関して (ni kanshite)
- This is the formal version of ni tsuite. It is used in business documents, news reports, and academic papers. It sounds more professional and objective.
- ~のこと (no koto)
- This is a more casual and soft way to say 'about.' It is often used when talking about people or personal matters. 'Kanojo no koto ga suki' means 'I like [everything about] her.'
その件に関しては、後ほどご連絡します。
(Regarding that matter, I will contact you later.)
There is also ~をめぐって (o megutte), which means 'surrounding' or 'concerning' a conflict or debate. It is used when multiple people are arguing or competing over something. For example, 'The two countries fought over the island' would use o megutte. This is much more specific than the general ni tsuite.
Finally, for very high-level Japanese, you might see ~にまつわる (ni matsuwaru), which means 'associated with' or 'related to,' often used for legends, stories, or traditions. Choosing the right one shows your command of Japanese social context.
How Formal Is It?
"本件について、ご報告申し上げます。"
"日本の歴史について勉強しています。"
"昨日のテストについて聞いた?"
"好きな動物についてお話ししてね。"
"あの件について、ぶっちゃけどう思う?"
रोचक तथ्य
Because it comes from 'to stick,' the original nuance was that your thoughts or words are 'stuck' to the subject matter.

सुझाव
Noun Modification
Always remember to add 'no' when you want to describe a noun using 'ni tsuite'. 'Nihon ni tsuite no hon' is the correct way to say 'a book about Japan.'
Opinion Asking
A great way to start a conversation is to ask '...ni tsuite dou omoimasu ka?' (What do you think about...?). It shows you are interested in the other person's perspective.
Verb Pairing
Learn 'ni tsuite' alongside verbs like 'hanasu' (talk), 'kangaeru' (think), and 'shiraberu' (research). These are its most frequent partners.
Formal Situations
In a job interview or a business meeting, try using 'ni kanshite' instead of 'ni tsuite' to sound more professional and polished.
Person Topics
When talking about someone you like or care about, 'no koto' sounds warmer than 'ni tsuite'. Use 'ni tsuite' for more objective or distant topics.
Signposting
In news reports, 'ni tsuite' is a signpost that the speaker is moving to a new topic. Listen for it to follow the flow of the broadcast.
Essay Titles
If you are writing a Japanese essay, your title will often be '[Topic] ni tsuite'. It's the standard format for school assignments.
Emphasis
Add 'wa' to 'ni tsuite' to make 'ni tsuite wa' when you want to contrast one topic with another. 'This topic is easy, but as for that topic...'
The 'Sticker' Rule
Imagine 'ni tsuite' is a sticker that says 'ABOUT'. You can only stick it onto nouns, and then you tell people what you're doing with that noun.
Don't Overcomplicate
At its heart, 'ni tsuite' is just 'about'. Don't overthink it; if you'd use 'about' in English with a verb like 'talk' or 'think', 'ni tsuite' is likely correct.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Think of 'Ni' as a needle and 'Tsuite' as 'stitching.' You are stitching your words to a topic.
दृश्य संबंध
Imagine a sticky note (the word 'about') being slapped onto a box (the noun).
Word Web
चैलेंज
Try to write three sentences about your favorite food using 'ni tsuite' in three different ways (verb, noun modification, and question).
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
Derived from the te-form of the verb 'tsuku' (付く), which means 'to stick to' or 'to be attached to.'
मूल अर्थ: Literally 'being attached to [a topic].'
Japonicसांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
When talking 'about' people (person + ni tsuite), it can sometimes sound like you are treating them as an object of study. Use 'no koto' for a softer, more personal touch.
English speakers often use 'about' very loosely. In Japanese, 'ni tsuite' is more restricted to communication/thought verbs.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालNo, you should use 'ga' or 'no koto ga'. 'Sushi ni tsuite suki' is incorrect; say 'Sushi ga suki' or 'Sushi no koto ga suki'.
'Ni kanshite' is more formal and used in professional or academic contexts. 'Ni tsuite' is the standard choice for daily conversation and general topics.
You must use 'no' to connect it to the noun: 'Nihon ni tsuite no hon'.
Yes, but usually as 'N ni tsuite wa...' to introduce the topic clearly. For example: 'Kono mondai ni tsuite wa, mada kangaeteimasen.'
Yes, but 'no koto' is often preferred for personal feelings. 'Tanaka-san ni tsuite hanasu' (Talk about Mr. Tanaka) is fine, but 'Tanaka-san no koto ga suki' (I like Mr. Tanaka) is more natural.
Usually, yes. It indicates the object of an action like talking, thinking, or writing. If there's no verb, it's often 'ni tsuite desu' (It is about...).
The 'wa' adds emphasis or contrast. It's like saying 'As for [this topic]...'
Yes, 'Nihon ni tsuite shitteimasu' (I know about Japan) is a very common and correct usage.
Yes, 'no koto' is the most common casual alternative, or sometimes just the particle 'wa' is enough.
The 'ni' is a target particle that points to the noun, and 'tsuite' is the connecting form of the verb 'tsuku' (to attach). They work together as a unit.

Summary
~について (ni tsuite) is the standard Japanese way to say 'about' or 'concerning.' It focuses the sentence on a specific subject. For example, 'Nihon ni tsuite hanashimasu' means 'I will talk about Japan.'
- Used to indicate the topic or subject matter of speech, thought, or investigation, similar to 'about' in English.
- Always follows a noun (Noun + について) and is typically followed by verbs like 'to talk' or 'to think'.
- Can be turned into an adjective by adding 'no' (Noun + についての + Noun) to describe another noun.
- Essential for moving beyond basic sentences to more detailed descriptions and discussions in Japanese.
Noun Modification
Always remember to add 'no' when you want to describe a noun using 'ni tsuite'. 'Nihon ni tsuite no hon' is the correct way to say 'a book about Japan.'
Opinion Asking
A great way to start a conversation is to ask '...ni tsuite dou omoimasu ka?' (What do you think about...?). It shows you are interested in the other person's perspective.
Verb Pairing
Learn 'ni tsuite' alongside verbs like 'hanasu' (talk), 'kangaeru' (think), and 'shiraberu' (research). These are its most frequent partners.
Formal Situations
In a job interview or a business meeting, try using 'ni kanshite' instead of 'ni tsuite' to sound more professional and polished.
