When you're learning Japanese at a B1 level, understanding abstract nouns like 「主観性」(shukantsei) is really useful. It means 'subjectivity' – that is, when something is based on personal feelings or opinions rather than objective facts. This word helps you talk about different perspectives and how people see things uniquely.
For example, you might hear it when discussing art, opinions, or even news, distinguishing between what's factual and what's someone's personal take. Grasping this concept allows for more nuanced conversations and a deeper understanding of Japanese communication.
When we talk about「主観性」(shukansei), we're referring to subjectivity – how something is influenced by personal feelings or opinions rather than objective facts. This means that what one person perceives or believes might be completely different from another's, because their individual experiences and perspectives color their understanding. It's often contrasted with「客観性」(kyakkansei), or objectivity. Understanding「主観性」is crucial when discussing topics like art, personal narratives, or even interpreting data, as it acknowledges the inherent personal bias in human understanding.

- CEFR Level
- B1
- Definition
- Subjectivity; the quality of being based on personal feelings or opinions.
Alright, let's talk about 主観性 (shukansei). This word means 'subjectivity.' It refers to when something is based on personal feelings, opinions, or interpretations, rather than objective facts. You'll hear this a lot in discussions where people are trying to figure out if something is a 'fact' or just 'someone's take' on things.
その評価には主観性が含まれている。
- Hint
- That evaluation includes subjectivity. (i.e., it's based on personal opinions)
芸術作品の解釈には主観性が伴う。

§ Similar Words and When to Use Them
Now, let's look at some related terms. It's important to know when to use 主観性 (shukansei) and when another word might fit better.
- 客観性 (kyakkansei)
- This is the direct opposite of 主観性 (shukansei). It means 'objectivity,' the quality of being based on facts and not influenced by personal feelings. If you're talking about something factual or unbiased, you'd use 客観性 (kyakkansei).
ニュース記事には客観性が求められる。
- Hint
- News articles require objectivity. (i.e., they should be factual)
- 個人的な意見 (kojinteki na iken)
- This phrase literally means 'personal opinion.' While it expresses a subjective viewpoint, it's a more casual way to say it than 主観性 (shukansei). 主観性 (shukansei) is a noun for the *quality* of being subjective, whereas 個人的な意見 (kojinteki na iken) is the actual opinion itself.
それは私の個人的な意見です。
- Hint
- That is my personal opinion.
- 偏見 (henken)
- This means 'prejudice' or 'bias.' While prejudice is definitely subjective, 偏見 (henken) carries a negative connotation. It implies an unfair or unreasonable judgment formed without sufficient knowledge. 主観性 (shukansei) can be neutral; 偏見 (henken) is not.
彼の判断には偏見がある。
- Hint
- His judgment has prejudice. (i.e., it's biased)
§ Key Differences
Here's a quick rundown to keep things straight:
- 主観性 (shukansei): The general quality of being based on personal views. It can be neutral or slightly negative, depending on context. Think 'personal perspective.'
- 客観性 (kyakkansei): The quality of being based on facts, without personal bias. Always positive in formal contexts. Think 'factual basis.'
- 個人的な意見 (kojinteki na iken): A specific personal opinion. More casual. Think 'my take.'
- 偏見 (henken): A negative form of subjectivity, implying unfair or unjustified bias. Think 'prejudice' or 'discrimination.'
When you're trying to describe something as being from a personal viewpoint without necessarily implying it's wrong or biased, 主観性 (shukansei) is your go-to word. If you're specifically talking about an unfair bias, use 偏見 (henken). And if you're stating your own opinion in a less formal way, 個人的な意見 (kojinteki na iken) works well.

Often confused with 主観性 due to being antonyms. Learners might mix up which refers to 'subjective' and which to 'objective'.
主観性 is about personal views; 客観性 (kyakkantei) is about objective, factual views.
彼の意見には客観性がない。 (Kare no iken ni wa kyakkansei ga nai.) Hint: His opinion lacks objectivity.
This phrase describes what subjectivity entails, leading some learners to use it interchangeably with 主観性, or to think it's the more common way to express 'subjectivity'.
主観性 is the noun 'subjectivity'; 個人的な意見 (kojinteki na iken) means 'personal opinion', which is a manifestation of subjectivity.
それはあくまで個人的な意見です。 (Sore wa akumade kojinteki na iken desu.) Hint: That's just a personal opinion.
Since 主観性 is based on personal feelings, learners might incorrectly associate it directly with 'emotion' or 'feeling' itself.
主観性 is the quality of being based on feelings; 感情 (kanjō) are the feelings themselves.
感情的にならず、冷静に話しましょう。 (Kanjōteki ni narazu, reisei ni hanashimashō.) Hint: Let's talk calmly without getting emotional.
Both 主観性 and 偏見 involve personal viewpoints, but 偏見 implies a negative, often unfair, bias.
主観性 is merely about personal perspective; 偏見 (henken) is a biased, prejudiced viewpoint.
彼はその問題に対して偏見を持っている。 (Kare wa sono mondai ni taishite henken o motte iru.) Hint: He has a prejudice against that issue.
Both refer to a 'point of view', making them seem similar. However, 主観性 is about the *quality* of being personal, while 視点 is simply a viewpoint.
主観性 is the characteristic of being personal; 視点 (shiten) is a specific angle or point from which something is viewed, which can be subjective or objective.
新しい視点から考えてみよう。 (Atarashii shiten kara kangaete miyō.) Hint: Let's try to think from a new perspective.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThink of 主観性 (shukantsei) as meaning 'subjectivity.' A good way to remember it is to break it down: 主 (shu) means 'master' or 'main,' 観 (kan) means 'view,' and 性 (sei) means 'nature' or 'quality.' So, it's literally the 'quality of a personal view.' Try associating it with situations where personal opinions are important, like in art criticism or personal taste discussions. For example: 主観性が入る (shukantsei ga hairu) - 'subjectivity enters' or 'it becomes subjective.'
Yes, you can! You can talk about a person having 主観性, meaning they tend to be subjective, or you can talk about an argument or a topic having 主観性, meaning it's based on personal views. For instance: 彼の意見は主観性に富んでいる。 (Kare no iken wa shukantsei ni tondeiru.) - 'His opinion is full of subjectivity.' Or: この評価には主観性が含まれています。 (Kono hyouka ni wa shukantsei ga fukumareteimasu.) - 'This evaluation includes subjectivity.'
Not necessarily. While sometimes it can imply a lack of objectivity, 主観性 itself is neutral. It simply describes the nature of being based on personal feelings or opinions. In some contexts, like artistic expression, 主観性 can even be positive. However, in scientific or legal contexts, it might be seen as something to avoid. For example: 芸術作品には主観性が重要だ。 (Geijutsu sakuhin ni wa shukantsei ga juuyou da.) - 'Subjectivity is important in works of art.' But also: 客観性が求められる場面で主観性を出すのは避けるべきだ。 (Kyakkansei ga motomerareru bamen de shukantsei wo dasu no wa sakeru beki da.) - 'One should avoid expressing subjectivity in situations where objectivity is required.'
The opposite of 主観性 (subjectivity) is 客観性 (kyakkantsei), which means 'objectivity.' Remember this pair as they are often used together to contrast personal opinions with factual or unbiased views. For example: 主観性と客観性 (shukantsei to kyakkantsei) - 'subjectivity and objectivity.'
意見 (iken) means 'opinion' or 'view,' which is a specific thought or belief. 主観性 (shukantsei) refers to the quality or characteristic of being based on personal feelings or opinions. So, while an 意見 can be 主観的 (shukanteki - subjective), 主観性 is the abstract concept. You have an 意見, but something possesses 主観性. For example: これは私の意見ですが、主観性が強いかもしれません。 (Kore wa watashi no iken desu ga, shukantsei ga tsuyoi kamo shiremasen.) - 'This is my opinion, but it might have strong subjectivity.'
主観的 (shukanteki) is an adjective, meaning 'subjective.' 主観性 (shukantsei) is a noun, meaning 'subjectivity.' You use them differently in sentences. You would say 'It is subjective' (主観的だ - shukanteki da) or 'It has subjectivity' (主観性がある - shukantsei ga aru). For instance: 彼の判断は主観的だった。 (Kare no handan wa shukanteki datta.) - 'His judgment was subjective.' Compared to: その判断には主観性があった。 (Sono handan ni wa shukantsei ga atta.) - 'There was subjectivity in that judgment.'
Yes, some common phrases include: 主観性が強い/低い (shukantsei ga tsuyoi/hikui) - 'strong/low subjectivity,' 主観性を排除する (shukantsei wo haijo suru) - 'to exclude subjectivity,' and 主観性が入る (shukantsei ga hairu) - 'subjectivity enters.' These help express varying degrees and interactions with subjectivity. For example: このデータは主観性を排除して集められた。 (Kono data wa shukantsei wo haijo shite atsumerareta.) - 'This data was collected excluding subjectivity.'
主観性 is generally considered around JLPT N2 or N1 level. It's a more abstract and formal word, so it's good to learn once you have a solid foundation in Japanese. Our rating of CEFR B1 is a general guide, but for JLPT, it's on the higher side.
In professional settings, especially in business, research, or journalism, 主観性 is often discussed in relation to ensuring fairness, accuracy, or objectivity. You might hear phrases like 'reducing subjectivity in evaluations' or 'avoiding subjective interpretations.' For example: レポートの作成には主観性をできる限り抑えるべきだ。 (Report no sakusei ni wa shukantsei wo dekiru kagiri osaeru beki da.) - 'When creating reports, subjectivity should be suppressed as much as possible.'
Absolutely! 主観性 is very relevant when discussing art, literature, music, or any area where personal interpretation and taste are key. In these fields, subjectivity is often embraced and even celebrated. For example: この絵の美しさは見る人の主観性による。 (Kono e no utsukushisa wa miru hito no shukantsei ni yoru.) - 'The beauty of this painting depends on the viewer's subjectivity.'
