に関する
に関する 30 सेकंड में
- A formal noun-modifying phrase meaning 'concerning' or 'regarding'.
- Used in the pattern [Noun A] + に関する + [Noun B].
- Essential for business Japanese, academic writing, and formal reporting.
- More formal than 'ni tsuite no' and specifically modifies the following noun.
The Japanese expression に関する (ni kansuru) is a vital grammatical structure for intermediate learners, serving as a formal way to say 'concerning,' 'regarding,' or 'related to.' While beginners often rely on the simpler particle no or the phrase ni tsuite, に関する elevates the register of your Japanese, making it suitable for business, academic writing, and official reporting. At its core, it functions as an adjectival phrase that links two nouns together, indicating that the second noun is about or related to the first noun.
- Grammatical Function
- It acts as an attributive form, meaning it must be followed immediately by a noun. It cannot end a sentence or directly modify a verb in this form.
- Semantic Range
- It covers a wide range of 'aboutness,' from direct topics to indirect associations and legal connections.
環境問題に関するニュースを読みました。
(I read news concerning environmental issues.)
When you use に関する, you are signaling to your listener or reader that the relationship between the two nouns is substantial and formal. For instance, while tabemono no hanashi (a talk about food) is casual, shokuryo mondai ni kansuru koen (a lecture concerning food supply problems) sounds professional and serious. This distinction is crucial for CEFR B1 learners who are moving from daily conversation to more structured discourse.
In professional settings, you will encounter this word in subject lines of emails, titles of reports, and legal documents. It provides a clear scope for the discussion. For example, keiyaku ni kansuru shitsumon (questions regarding the contract) is the standard way to frame inquiries in a corporate environment. It avoids the ambiguity that sometimes comes with simpler particles.

(Please prepare materials regarding the new law.)
- Formality Level
- Highly formal. Used in newspapers, textbooks, and business presentations.
Furthermore, に関する is derived from the verb kansuru (to concern/relate to), which itself comes from kankei (relationship). Understanding this root helps learners internalize that the word is about the 'connection' between things. It is not just 'about' something in a vague sense; it is 'related' to it in a structured way.
この件に関する詳細は、後ほど説明します。
(Details regarding this matter will be explained later.)
Mastering the syntax of に関する is relatively straightforward once you understand its role as a noun modifier. The basic pattern is [Noun A] + に関する + [Noun B]. This structure translates to '[Noun B] concerning [Noun A].' Unlike many other Japanese grammar points that can be flexible, に関する is quite rigid in its requirement to be followed by a noun.
- Basic Structure
- Noun + に関する + Noun. Example: 歴史に関する本 (A book concerning history).
日本文化に関する知識を深めたいです。
(I want to deepen my knowledge regarding Japanese culture.)
One common point of confusion for learners is when to use に関する versus についての. While both can often be translated as 'about,' に関する is more formal and implies a broader, more systematic relationship. についての is slightly more direct and can feel more personal or specific. In academic or professional writing, に関する is almost always the preferred choice.
Let's look at how this functions in complex sentences. You might say Kyoiku ni kansuru giron ga tsuzuite iru (Debates concerning education are continuing). Here, 'debates' is the subject, and 'concerning education' specifies what kind of debates they are. The entire phrase Kyoiku ni kansuru giron acts as a single noun phrase.
将来の計画に関する話し合いをしましょう。
(Let's have a discussion regarding future plans.)
- Negative and Past Forms
- Since 'suru' is a verb, you might wonder about 'shita' or 'shinai'. However, in the attributive sense of 'concerning,' 'ni kansuru' is almost always used in the present/dictionary form regardless of the sentence tense.
Another advanced usage involves multiple nouns. You can string topics together: A to B ni kansuru chosa (A survey concerning A and B). This is very common in research papers. The word helps maintain a clear logical flow, ensuring the reader knows exactly what the following noun pertains to.
輸出に関する規制が強化されました。
(Regulations regarding exports have been strengthened.)
個人情報の取り扱いに関する同意書です。
(This is a consent form regarding the handling of personal information.)
You are unlikely to hear に関する while hanging out with friends at a karaoke box or ordering coffee. However, as soon as you step into a professional or educational environment in Japan, it becomes ubiquitous. It is the language of the 'public sphere.' You will hear it on NHK news broadcasts, in university lectures, and during corporate announcements.
- News & Media
- Announcers use it to introduce segments: 'Next, news regarding the stock market...' (Tsugi wa, kabushiki shijo ni kansuru nyusu desu).
政府は、少子化対策に関する新しい方針を発表しました。
(The government announced a new policy regarding measures against the declining birthrate.)
In a Japanese office, に関する is essential for clarity. When a manager sends an email with the subject line Project A ni kansuru oshirase (Notice regarding Project A), it immediately tells the employees the scope of the message. It sounds authoritative and organized. If you are preparing for the JLPT B1 or B2 levels, you will notice this phrase appearing frequently in the reading section, particularly in formal letters or informative articles.
In academic settings, professors use it to define the scope of their research or the topic of a seminar. A student might say, Watashi wa kankyo hogo ni kansuru ronbun o kaite imasu (I am writing a thesis concerning environmental protection). Using に関する here demonstrates that the student is capable of using academic-level Japanese.
この実験に関するデータは、こちらにあります。
(The data regarding this experiment is located here.)
- Legal & Official Documents
- Contracts often use 'ni kansuru' to define terms: 'Terms regarding payment' (shiharai ni kansuru joko).
Finally, you'll see it on signs and in manuals. A sign in a park might say Gomi no sute-kata ni kansuru chui (Warnings regarding how to dispose of trash). It serves as a formal 'About:' header. Because it is so common in print, becoming comfortable with it will significantly improve your ability to navigate daily life in Japan, from reading the mail to understanding public notices.
安全に関する注意事項をよく読んでください。
(Please read the safety precautions carefully.)
The most frequent mistake learners make with に関する is confusing its grammatical role with its adverbial counterpart, に関して (ni kanshite). Because they both translate to 'concerning' or 'about,' learners often swap them incorrectly. Remember: に関する MUST modify a noun, while に関して modifies a verb or an entire clause.
- Mistake 1: Modifying a Verb
- Incorrect: 経済に関する話しました (Keizai ni kansuru hanashimashita).
Correct: 経済に関して話しました (Keizai ni kanshite hanashimashita).
❌ 彼は仕事に関する言いました。
✅ 彼は仕事に関して言いました。
(He spoke regarding work.)
Another common error is using に関する in casual conversation where it sounds overly stiff or 'robotic.' While not grammatically wrong, saying Anime ni kansuru hanashi o shiyo to a friend is like saying 'Let us engage in a discourse concerning Japanese animation' in English. It creates a strange social distance. In these cases, no or ni tsuite is much more natural.
Learners also sometimes forget the ni or the suru. You cannot say Noun kansuru Noun or Noun ni kansu Noun. The phrase is a fixed set. Also, avoid using it with personal feelings or small, trivial matters. You wouldn't usually say Kinou no ranchi ni kansuru kanso (Impressions regarding yesterday's lunch) unless you were writing a formal food critique.
❌ 昨日のパーティーに関する楽しかった。
✅ 昨日のパーティーは楽しかった。
(The party yesterday was fun.)
- Mistake 2: Overuse
- Don't use it for simple possession. 'My book' is 'watashi no hon', not 'watashi ni kansuru hon' (which would mean 'a book about me').
Finally, be careful with the particle no after に関する. You do NOT need no because suru is already in its attributive form. Keizai ni kansuru no hon is incorrect. It should simply be Keizai ni kansuru hon.
❌ 法律に関するの書類。
✅ 法律に関する書類。
(Documents regarding the law.)
Japanese has several ways to express the concept of 'about' or 'related to,' and choosing the right one depends on the level of formality and the specific nuance you want to convey. The most common alternative is について (ni tsuite). While に関する is formal and modifies nouns, について is more versatile but slightly less formal. When について modifies a noun, it must become についての.
- に関する vs. についての
- に関する: Formal, objective, systematic. Used in research and business.
についての: Neutral, can be subjective. Used in daily life and general writing.
将来に関する不安 (Anxiety regarding the future - formal/broad)
将来についての悩み (Worries about the future - personal/specific)
Another alternative is をめぐって (o megutte). This is used when a topic is the center of a conflict, debate, or competition. It literally means 'surrounding' a topic. If people are arguing about a new policy, you would use o megutte rather than ni kansuru to emphasize the surrounding controversy.
For even more formal or literary contexts, you might see に係る (ni kakaru). This is frequently used in legal documents and government ordinances. It is even more formal than に関する and often implies a direct legal connection or dependency. As a B1 learner, you don't need to use ni kakaru, but recognizing it in official mail is helpful.
税金に関する手続き (Procedures regarding taxes - Standard formal)
税金に係る法律 (Laws pertaining to taxes - Highly formal/Legal)
- に対して (ni taishite)
- This means 'towards' or 'in response to.' While 'ni kansuru' is about a topic, 'ni taishite' is about an action or attitude directed at someone or something.
Lastly, the simple particle の (no) can often replace に関する in casual speech. Kuruma no hon is 'a book about cars' or 'a car book.' It is the most common way to link nouns when the relationship is obvious and doesn't require formal specification.
料理に関する雑誌 (A magazine regarding cooking - Professional)
料理の雑誌 (A cooking magazine - Casual/Common)

रोचक तथ्य
The 'kan' in 'ni kansuru' is the same 'kan' found in 'Kansai' and 'Kanto', which originally referred to regions west and east of the 'Sekigahara' checkpoint.
उच्चारण मार्गदर्शिका
- Pronouncing 'ru' like an English 'r'. It should be a tongue tap like a soft 'd'.
- Over-emphasizing the 'u' in 'su'. In standard Japanese, the 'u' is often whispered or silent (devoiced).
- Putting stress on the 'ni'. The 'ni' is a particle and should be linked smoothly to 'kansuru'.
- Pausing between 'kan' and 'suru'. It should be one fluid word.
- Mispronouncing the 'n' as a separate syllable. It should blend with the 'ka'.

सुझाव
Noun Modifier Only
Always ensure a noun follows 'ni kansuru'. If you find yourself wanting to put a verb next, switch to 'ni kanshite'.
Professionalism
Use 'ni kansuru' in your resume or cover letter when describing your skills or research topics to sound more professional.
Spotting the Topic
In long Japanese sentences, 'ni kansuru' often marks the end of a descriptive phrase. Use it as a landmark to understand the sentence structure.
Pitch Accent
Keep the pitch flat. Don't stress any particular syllable, as this is the standard way to pronounce 'suru' verbs in this form.
Root Word
Remember 'kankei' (relationship). 'Ni kansuru' is just the verb form of having a relationship with a topic.
JLPT Tip
In JLPT B1/B2, you might have to choose between 'ni kansuru' and 'ni kanshite'. Look at what follows the blank: Noun = 'ni kansuru', Verb = 'ni kanshite'.
Email Subjects
Use '[Topic] ni kansuru oshirase' as a standard, polite way to title your business emails.
Public Signs
Pay attention to signs in Japan. You will see 'ni kansuru' on warnings, instructions, and information boards everywhere.
Formal vs. Casual
Practice converting 'no' sentences to 'ni kansuru' sentences to feel the difference in formality.
Objective Tone
Use 'ni kansuru' when you want to sound objective and unbiased, as it implies a factual relationship.

Word Web
चैलेंज
Try to write three formal sentences about your favorite hobby using 'ni kansuru' instead of 'no'. For example: 'Game design ni kansuru hon o yomimasu'.
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The phrase comes from the verb 'kansuru' (関する), which is a 'suru' verb derived from the kanji '関' (kan).
मूल अर्थ: The kanji '関' originally depicted a gate with a bar, meaning a 'barrier' or 'checkpoint'. It evolved to mean 'connection' or 'to involve' because checkpoints connect two areas.
Sino-Japanese (Kango) origin for the root 'kan', combined with the native Japanese verb 'suru'.सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
There are no major sensitivities, but using it in very casual settings can make you sound cold or distant.
English speakers often use 'about' for everything. Learning 'ni kansuru' helps them sound less like a child and more like a professional in Japanese.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालNo, 'ni kansuru' is an attributive form, meaning it must be followed by a noun. If you want to end a sentence, you would say '...ni kansuru mono desu' or use the verb form '...ni kanshite imasu'.
'No' is a general linker for possession or categories (e.g., 'kuruma no hon' = car book). 'Ni kansuru' is formal and specifically means 'concerning' (e.g., 'kuruma ni kansuru hon' = a book concerning cars). Use 'ni kansuru' for professional topics.
Rarely. It sounds very stiff. In casual speech, people use 'no' or '...ni tsuite no'. For example, instead of 'anime ni kansuru hanashi', they would say 'anime no hanashi'.
No. To modify a verb, you must use 'ni kanshite'. For example: 'Keizai ni kanshite hanasu' (Talk regarding the economy). 'Keizai ni kansuru hanasu' is grammatically incorrect.
Yes, but it's a 'formal about'. It's like the difference between 'a book about space' and 'a publication concerning astronomical phenomena'.
You can use 'ni kansuru mono dewa nai' or 'ni kankei no nai'. 'Ni kanshinai' is not commonly used in this grammatical way.
Yes, but it sounds like you are treating them as a topic of study. 'Tanaka-san ni kansuru joho' (Information concerning Mr. Tanaka) sounds like a background check or a report.
In its role as a noun modifier, it stays as 'ni kansuru' even if the sentence is in the past. 'Kinou, keizai ni kansuru hon o yonda' (Yesterday, I read a book concerning the economy).
It is typically introduced at the B1 level as part of formal grammar and business Japanese preparation.
Yes, you can say 'A to B ni kansuru Noun' to mean 'Noun concerning A and B'.
