When something is obvious or very easy to see or understand, you can use 明白な (meihaku na).
Think of it like when the answer to a question is so clear that everyone knows it, or a fact is undeniable. There’s no doubt about it.
It means there's nothing hidden or confusing; it's right there for anyone to grasp.
When something is 明白な (meihaku na), it means it's super clear and easy to understand. You don't need to guess; it's right there in front of you. Think of it like a bright, sunny day—everything is obvious!
This word is really useful when you want to say something is unmistakable or evident. For example, if someone is really happy, their big smile and excited voice make their happiness 明白な. You can't miss it!
When something is 明白な (meihaku na), it means it's incredibly clear and easy to understand, leaving no room for doubt or confusion. Think of it like a fact that's right in front of you, undeniable and plain to see. It’s a stronger way to say something is clear compared to just saying it’s a little bit understandable.
You might use it to describe evidence in a case, a rule that everyone should follow, or even someone's intentions when they are very direct. If a situation is 明白な, then there aren’t any hidden meanings or complicated interpretations; it’s just as it appears.
When something is 明白 (meihaku), it's not just clear; it's undeniably obvious. Think of it as a higher degree of clarity than just 「明らか (akiraka)」. While both mean 'clear' or 'obvious,' 明白 implies a level of evidence or straightforwardness that leaves no room for doubt or misinterpretation. It often describes situations or facts that are plain for everyone to see and understand without needing further explanation.

It's often used when you want to emphasize that something is plainly evident to anyone who looks at it or hears about it, making it hard to miss. So, if a situation or fact is unambiguous and stands out, you can describe it as 明白な.
§ Understanding 明白な (meihaku na)
The Japanese adjective 明白な (meihaku na) translates to "obvious," "clear," or "easily perceived/understood." It's a useful word to express when something is unmistakably true, evident, or plain to see. Because it's a な-adjective, it will behave similarly to other な-adjectives you've learned. Remember that な-adjectives require the particle な when they directly modify a noun, but they stand alone when they modify a verb or come at the end of a sentence followed by です (desu) or だ (da).
- Definition
- Obvious; easily perceived or understood; clear.
§ Using 明白な (meihaku na) with Nouns
When 明白な (meihaku na) modifies a noun, you need to include the particle な (na) directly after it. This is standard for all な-adjectives. The structure is 明白な + Noun.
それは明白な事実です。
(Sore wa meihaku na jijitsu desu.)
That is an obvious fact.
Here, 明白な (meihaku na) describes 事実 (jijitsu - fact), making it an "obvious fact."
彼の意図は明白な間違いでした。
(Kare no ito wa meihaku na machigai deshita.)
His intention was a clear mistake.
In this example, 明白な (meihaku na) modifies 間違い (machigai - mistake), indicating a "clear mistake."
§ Using 明白な (meihaku na) with Verbs or at the End of a Sentence
When 明白な (meihaku na) is used predicatively (to describe the subject of the sentence) or to modify a verb, you typically drop the な (na) and use it directly. If it's at the end of a sentence, it will often be followed by です (desu) or だ (da).
その証拠は明白です。
(Sono shōko wa meihaku desu.)
The evidence is clear/obvious.
Here, 明白 (meihaku) directly describes 証拠 (shōko - evidence), asserting its clarity.
彼の反応は明白だった。
(Kare no hannō wa meihaku datta.)
His reaction was obvious.
This example uses the past tense だ (da) form, だった (datta), to indicate that the reaction was clearly obvious in the past.
§ Common Phrases and Usage Patterns
明白な (meihaku na) is often used in situations where there's no room for doubt, often related to facts, evidence, reasons, or intentions. Consider these common patterns:
- 明白な理由 (meihaku na riyū): obvious reason
- 明白な証拠 (meihaku na shōko): clear evidence
- 明白な事実 (meihaku na jijitsu): obvious fact
- 明白な違い (meihaku na chigai): clear difference
成功への道は明白なものではない。
(Seikō e no michi wa meihaku na mono de wa nai.)
The path to success is not obvious.
Here, 明白な (meihaku na) is used with もの (mono), which acts as a general noun referring to "thing" or "one," making the phrase "not an obvious thing/path."
§ Summary of Usage
To recap, remember these key points for using 明白な (meihaku na):
- Modifying Nouns: Use 明白な + Noun (e.g., 明白な事実).
- Predicatively/End of Sentence: Use 明白 + です/だ (e.g., 明白です).
- It conveys a strong sense of clarity, evidence, or being undeniable.
Practice using 明白な (meihaku na) in your own sentences, paying attention to whether it's modifying a noun or acting as a predicate. This will help solidify your understanding and make it a natural part of your Japanese vocabulary.

- DEFINITION
- 明白な (meihaku na): Obvious; easily perceived or understood; clear.
Remember, while 明白な is useful for conveying clarity, it's generally reserved for situations where you want to sound formal or emphasize a point strongly.

However, mastering 明白な will definitely elevate your Japanese, especially when dealing with more serious topics.

需要掌握的语法
Japanese adjectives ending in -na (な adjectives) directly modify nouns by attaching な to the adjective stem.
明白な事実 (meihaku na jijitsu) - an obvious fact
When a な adjective is used predicatively (at the end of a sentence to describe the subject), な is often dropped, and です (desu) or だ (da) is added.
その理由は明白です。(Sono riyū wa meihaku desu.) - The reason is obvious.
To form the adverbial form of a な adjective, replace な with に (ni).
彼は明白に嘘をついた。(Kare wa meihaku ni uso o tsuita.) - He obviously lied.
You can use a な adjective with the particle で (de) to connect it to another clause, indicating a state or reason.
それは明白で、誰もが理解できる。(Sore wa meihaku de, daremo ga rikai dekiru.) - That is obvious, and everyone can understand it.
な adjectives can be negated by replacing です (desu) with ではありません (dewa arimasen) or じゃないです (janai desu) in the predicative form.
彼の意図は明白ではありません。(Kare no ito wa meihaku dewa arimasen.) - His intention is not obvious.

容易混淆的词
This is an adverb meaning 'clearly' or 'plainly'. While related to clarity, it describes *how* something is done or perceived, rather than the inherent quality of being obvious. For example, はっきり話す (hakkiri hanasu - to speak clearly).
This means 'of course' or 'certainly'. It expresses agreement or certainty, but it's not an adjective describing something as 'obvious' in the same way 明白な is. For example, もちろん大丈夫です (mochiron daijoubu desu - Of course, it's fine).
This means 'easy to understand'. While something 明白な is often 分かりやすい, this term focuses on the ease of comprehension, which can be subjective. 明白な implies an objective, undeniable clarity.
语法模式
容易混淆
Both 明白な and 明らかな mean 'obvious' or 'clear'. However, 明らかな is more commonly used in everyday conversation and for situations where something is visually clear or evident. 明白な is more formal and often implies a logical or indisputable clarity.
明白な (meihaku na) emphasizes logical, undeniable clarity, often in formal contexts. 明らかな (akira ka na) is for general, visually evident clarity.
彼のうそは明らかな間違いだった。 (Kare no uso wa akira ka na machigai datta.) - His lie was an obvious mistake.
Both imply clarity. 明白な suggests something is objectively clear and undeniable, while はっきりした focuses on something being clearly distinguishable or definite, often from a subjective viewpoint.
明白な (meihaku na) is about objective, undeniable clarity. はっきりした (hakkiri shita) is about subjective clarity, something being definite or distinguishable.
彼の意見ははっきりしていた。 (Kare no iken wa hakkiri shite ita.) - His opinion was clear (definite).
Similar to 明白な, both mean 'clear' or 'definite'. However, 明確な often refers to clarity in terms of definition, instruction, or aim, emphasizing precision and lack of ambiguity. 明白な emphasizes undeniable evidence.
明白な (meihaku na) refers to undeniable clarity based on evidence. 明確な (meikaku na) refers to precision and lack of ambiguity in definitions, instructions, or goals.
明確な目標を立てる。 (Meikaku na mokuhyou o tateru.) - Set a clear (definite) goal.
While 疑いのない means 'undoubted' or 'indisputable', it directly focuses on the absence of doubt. 明白な implies this by virtue of its clarity, but its primary meaning is 'obvious'.
明白な (meihaku na) means 'obvious' or 'easily understood'. 疑いのない (utagai no nai) means 'undoubted' or 'indisputable', focusing on the lack of doubt.
それは疑いのない事実だ。 (Sore wa utagai no nai jijitsu da.) - That is an undoubted fact.
確かな means 'certain' or 'reliable'. While something that is 明白な can also be 確かな, the nuance is different. 確かな emphasizes reliability or certainty, while 明白な emphasizes evident or easily perceivable truth.
明白な (meihaku na) means 'obvious' or 'clear to perceive'. 確かな (tashika na) means 'certain' or 'reliable'.
確かな情報源。 (Tashika na jouhougen.) - A reliable source of information.

如何使用
While 明白な (meihaku na) means "obvious" or "clear," it carries a slightly more formal and emphatic tone than simpler words like 明らかな (akiraka na). You'll often find it in written contexts or when you want to strongly emphasize that something is undeniably clear.
For instance, when something is logically or visually very evident, 明白な is a good choice. Think of it like saying something is "manifest" or "unequivocal."
A common mistake is using 明白な in casual spoken Japanese where 明らかな or even just わかる (wakaru) – "to understand" – would be more natural. While not strictly incorrect, it can sound a bit stiff.
Another point to remember is that because it's a な-adjective, it requires な before a noun (e.g., 明白な事実 - meihaku na jijitsu, "obvious fact") and typically uses に (ni) when modifying a verb (e.g., 明白に違う - meihaku ni chigau, "clearly different").
小贴士
Basic Meaning of 明白な
明白な (meihaku na) means obvious or clear. Think of it as something that stands out and is easy to see or understand without much effort.
Using 明白な with Nouns
Because 明白な is a な-adjective, it requires な when directly modifying a noun. For example:
これは明白な事実です。 (Kore wa meihaku na jijitsu desu.) - This is an obvious fact.
Using 明白に as an Adverb
You can use 明白に (meihaku ni) as an adverb to mean 'obviously' or 'clearly'. For example:
彼は明白に間違っている。 (Kare wa meihaku ni machigatte iru.) - He is clearly wrong.
Synonyms and Nuance
Similar words include 明らかな (akiraka na) which also means clear or obvious. 明白な often carries a slightly stronger sense of being undeniably clear.
Contextual Examples
Consider this phrase:
その証拠は明白だ。 (Sono shouko wa meihaku da.) - That evidence is obvious/clear. Here, 明白だ acts as the predicate of the sentence.
Recognizing in Reading
When you see 明白な in text, immediately think: 'This is describing something as undeniably clear or plain to see'.
Common Phrases with 明白な
You might hear or read phrases like:
明白な答え (meihaku na kotae) - an obvious answer
明白な違い (meihaku na chigai) - a clear difference
Pronunciation Practice
Break down the pronunciation: mei (めい) - haku (はく) - na (な). Focus on keeping the 'ei' sound long, similar to 'ay' in say.
Using in Your Own Sentences
Try to form your own sentences. For example, describe something in your environment that is obvious:
私の部屋は明白に散らかっている。 (Watashi no heya wa meihaku ni chirakatte iru.) - My room is clearly messy.
Distinguishing from Vague
Remember that 明白な is the opposite of something vague or ambiguous. If something is not obvious, you would use a different word, like 曖昧な (aimai na).
词源
From Middle Chinese 明白 (meng baek) meaning 'clear, evident.' It is a compound of 明 (mei) meaning 'bright, clear' and 白 (haku) meaning 'white, clear.'
原始含义： Clear, evident
