When you want to express that someone is showing sincerity, or being truly honest and genuine in their feelings or actions, the Japanese word you'll use is 誠意 (seii).
Think of it as showing your true heart in what you say and do. For example, if someone apologizes with 誠意, it means they are genuinely sorry. It's about being authentic and trustworthy.
When you're at the B1 level in Japanese, you're starting to have more complex conversations. This is where a word like 誠意 (せい い) becomes really useful.
You'll often hear 誠意 when people are talking about making a sincere effort, showing genuine apology, or proving their honesty in business or personal relationships.
It's about demonstrating that your intentions and actions are truly heartfelt and not just for show.
Understanding this nuance will help you express yourself more genuinely and understand others better in various situations.
When we talk about 誠意 (seii), we're talking about a deep, heartfelt honesty and genuineness. It’s not just about telling the truth, but about your intentions and feelings being truly pure and without hidden motives. Imagine someone apologizing not just with words, but with their whole demeanor showing they genuinely regret their actions – that’s 誠意. It's about demonstrating your true, good intentions, especially in situations that require trust or reconciliation. This word emphasizes the inner state and the outward expression of true feelings.

- Honesty
- Genuineness
- Sincere feelings
Let's talk about a really useful Japanese word: 誠意 (seii). This isn't just about being polite; it's about genuine feelings and actions. If you want to connect with people on a deeper level in Japan, understanding and using 誠意 is key.
§ What 誠意 Means
誠意 (seii) generally translates to 'sincerity,' 'honesty,' or 'genuineness.' But it's more nuanced than just being truthful. It implies that your feelings are truly heartfelt and that your actions reflect those feelings. It’s about having a pure heart and good intentions, and acting in a way that demonstrates that.
- DEFINITION
- Sincerity; honesty; genuineness in feelings or actions.
Think of it this way: anyone can say 'sorry.' But 誠意 is about showing you are genuinely sorry, not just saying the words. It's about demonstrating regret and a desire to make things right through your behavior.
§ When to Use 誠意
You'll hear and use 誠意 in many situations, especially when emphasizing the importance of genuine intentions. Here are some common scenarios:
- Apologies: When you need to express genuine regret. It’s not enough to just say すみません (sumimasen) or ごめんなさい (gomen nasai). Adding 誠意 shows you truly mean it.
- Requests/Negotiations: When you want to convey your serious and honest intent to achieve something or work with someone.
- Business Dealings: Showing 誠意 is crucial for building trust and long-term relationships. It implies transparency and good faith.
- Gifts/Hospitality: When offering something or hosting someone, your actions should come from a place of genuine care.
- Commitment: When you are serious about a promise or a task.
§ Examples of 誠意 in Use
Let's look at some practical examples to see how 誠意 is used in sentences.
彼は誠意をもって謝罪した。
Hint: He apologized with sincerity.
お客様には誠意をもって対応いたします。
Hint: We will deal with customers with sincerity (genuine care).
彼の話には誠意が感じられた。
Hint: I felt sincerity in his words.
誠意を見せるべきだ。
Hint: You should show sincerity.
Notice how in these examples, 誠意 isn't just a passive quality, but something that is shown, felt, or demonstrated through actions and words. It's an active ingredient in communication and relationships.
§ Why 誠意 is Important
In Japanese social and business contexts, 誠意 is incredibly important for building and maintaining trust. A lack of 誠意 can quickly damage relationships, even if no explicit lie was told. It’s about the spirit behind your interactions. When you interact with Japanese people, try to always consider how your words and actions will convey your genuine feelings and intentions. This will make a big difference in how you are perceived and how successful your communications will be.
Alright, let's talk about 誠意 (seii), which means sincerity, honesty, or genuineness. It's a word you'll hear quite a bit in various situations in Japan, especially when people are trying to convey their true feelings or intentions. It's not just about saying sorry; it's about showing you genuinely mean it, or genuinely want to help.
§ 誠意 at Work
In the Japanese workplace, 誠意 is a big deal. It’s expected that you approach your tasks and your colleagues with sincerity. This can mean being honest about your mistakes, genuinely trying to resolve issues, or putting your best effort into your work.
- DEFINITION
- Showing your true commitment and effort in your professional responsibilities.
When a problem arises, a boss might ask an employee to show 誠意 (seii) in their actions. This means they expect the employee to take the issue seriously and genuinely work towards a solution. It's not about making excuses; it's about demonstrating real effort to fix things.
今回の件については、誠意をもって対応させていただきます。
Translation hint: "Regarding this matter, I will deal with it with sincerity."
You might also hear about a company showing 誠意 to its customers. This could mean they are genuinely trying to provide good service, listen to feedback, and resolve customer complaints fairly.
お客様の信頼を得るためには、常に誠意ある対応が必要です。
Translation hint: "To gain customer trust, a sincere response is always necessary."
§ 誠意 in School
Even in school settings, 誠意 has a role. Students are expected to show sincerity in their studies, their club activities, and their interactions with teachers and classmates.
- DEFINITION
- Approaching learning and school life with genuine effort and honesty.
If a student makes a mistake or gets into trouble, they might be encouraged to show 誠意. This means taking responsibility for their actions and genuinely trying to improve.
先生に誠意をもって謝罪しなさい。
Translation hint: "Apologize to the teacher with sincerity."
§ 誠意 in the News and Public Life
You'll also come across 誠意 in news reports, especially when politicians or public figures are involved in scandals or controversies. They are often pressured to demonstrate 誠意 to the public.
- DEFINITION
- Public figures showing genuine responsibility and commitment to addressing public concerns.
When a company or a politician makes a mistake that affects many people, the public expects them to act with 誠意. This can involve transparent explanations, taking responsibility, and implementing measures to prevent similar issues in the future.
政府は国民に対し、この問題に誠意をもって取り組むべきです。
Translation hint: "The government should tackle this problem with sincerity towards the citizens."
In these contexts, 誠意 is about more than just words. It's about visible actions that prove someone is genuinely committed to rectifying a situation or upholding their responsibilities.
Understanding 誠意 is key to understanding how Japanese people value genuine effort, honesty, and responsibility in both their personal and public lives. It's not just a word; it's a fundamental concept that influences social interactions and expectations. Keep an eye out for it in different situations, and you'll start to see its importance clearly.
- **誠意を示す (seii o shimesu)**: To show sincerity. This is a very common phrase.
- **誠意ある態度 (seii aru taido)**: A sincere attitude.
- **誠意を尽くす (seii o tsukusu)**: To do one's utmost with sincerity.
§ Don't Confuse 誠意 with Just Being Nice
Many English speakers learning Japanese might think 誠意 (seii) is simply about being nice or polite. While being nice can be a part of showing 誠意, it's not the full picture. 誠意 goes deeper. It's about genuine feelings and intentions. You can be polite without being truly sincere, and you can be sincere without being overly polite. Think of a child apologizing after breaking a vase. They might not use perfect honorifics, but their tears and solemn expression show real 誠意.
彼女はいつも丁寧ですが、誠意があるかどうかは分かりません。
*Translation hint: She is always polite, but I don't know if she has sincerity.*
§ Using 誠意 in Situations Without Real Intent
Another mistake is using 誠意 when there's no actual intention to follow through or when the sincerity isn't truly present. If you say you'll do something with 誠意 but then don't, it undermines the meaning of the word. 誠意 isn't just a word; it's a commitment to your actions and feelings. For instance, if a company apologizes to customers for a mistake, but their actions don't show any effort to fix the problem, their apology lacks 誠意.
彼の謝罪には誠意が感じられなかった。
*Translation hint: His apology didn't feel sincere (lacked sincerity).*
§ Overusing or Underusing 誠意
Some learners might overuse 誠意, applying it in situations where a simpler word like 「正直」 (shoujiki - honest) or 「真剣」 (shinken - serious) would be more appropriate. For example, you wouldn't typically say 「誠意をもって勉強する」 (seii o motte benkyousuru - to study with sincerity) if you just mean you're studying seriously. Conversely, underusing it can lead to your communication being perceived as superficial, especially in formal or serious contexts where genuine commitment is expected.
- Common phrases with 誠意:
- 誠意を見せる (seii o miseru): to show sincerity
- 誠意ある対応 (seii aru taiou): a sincere response/approach
- 誠意を尽くす (seii o tsukusu): to do one's utmost with sincerity
Understanding these nuances will help you use 誠意 more naturally and effectively in your Japanese communication. It's a powerful word when used correctly, conveying a depth of feeling and commitment that simple politeness cannot.
How Formal Is It?
"私たちはこの問題に誠意をもって対応いたします。"
"彼はいつも仕事に真面目に取り組んでいます。"
"本当に手伝ってくれるの？本気で言ってんの？"
"お母さんにほんとのこと言ってごらん。"
"この計画、ガチで成功させたい。"

neutral如何使用
When expressing your deep appreciation for someone's efforts, you can use 誠意 to show your genuine feelings. For instance, when thanking someone for their help, you might say, 「ご協力に心からの誠意を表します。」 (I express my heartfelt sincerity for your cooperation.)
It's also used when making a sincere apology or showing genuine intent to resolve a problem. For example, if you want to convey that you are truly sorry, you could say, 「誠意を持って謝罪いたします。」 (I sincerely apologize.)
Another common use is to describe actions that are done with genuine effort or good faith. You might hear, 「誠意ある対応」 (sincere response) or 「誠意を尽くす」 (to do one's utmost with sincerity).
A common mistake is to overuse 誠意 in situations where a simpler expression of thanks or apology would suffice. While 誠意 emphasizes genuineness, using it too frequently can sometimes make your language sound overly formal or even insincere if not used in appropriate contexts. For everyday thanks, 「ありがとう」 is usually enough.
Another mistake is to confuse 誠意 with simply being polite. While politeness can be a component of sincerity, 誠意 specifically refers to the depth and truthfulness of one's feelings or intentions. For example, just saying 「すみません」 (excuse me/I'm sorry) might be polite, but adding 誠意 to it emphasizes a deeper level of regret.
Also, be careful not to use 誠意 when talking about someone else's sincerity in a negative or accusatory way, as it can sound judgmental. For instance, saying 「彼の誠意がない」 (He lacks sincerity) can be quite strong. It's often better to describe the actions rather than directly questioning their sincerity, such as 「彼の対応は不十分だった」 (His response was insufficient).

常见问题
10 个问题That's a good question! While both relate to genuineness, they have slightly different nuances. 誠意 (seii) emphasizes sincerity in actions and intentions towards others. It's about demonstrating your earnestness. 本心 (honshin), on the other hand, refers more to one's true feelings or inner thoughts. You might say something that isn't your 本心 to be polite, but you'd always want to act with 誠意. Think of 誠意 as the outward expression of sincerity, and 本心 as the inner truth.
Absolutely! 誠意 is often used with verbs like 示す (shimesu - to show), 尽くす (tsukusu - to do one's best), or 感じる (kanjiru - to feel). Here are a few common patterns:
1. 誠意を示す (seii o shimesu) - to show sincerity
彼は誠意を示して謝罪した。 (Kare wa seii o shimeshite shazai shita.)
He apologized with sincerity.
2. 誠意を尽くす (seii o tsukusu) - to do one's utmost with sincerity
お客様のために誠意を尽くします。 (Okyaku-sama no tame ni seii o tsukushimasu.)
I will do my utmost with sincerity for our customers.
3. 誠意が感じられる (seii ga kanjirareru) - sincerity can be felt
彼の言葉には誠意が感じられた。 (Kare no kotoba ni wa seii ga kanjireta.)
Sincerity could be felt in his words.
Not directly as an adjective for a person. While 誠意 itself means sincerity, you wouldn't say 「彼は誠意です」 (Kare wa seii desu - He is sincerity). Instead, you would say something like 誠意がある人 (seii ga aru hito - a person with sincerity) or 誠実な人 (seijitsu na hito - a sincere/earnest person). 誠実 (seijitsu) is another common word that functions as an adjective meaning sincere.
誠意 is generally used in more formal or serious contexts. You'll hear it in business, apologies, or when discussing important relationships. In casual conversation, if you want to express that someone is genuine, you might use simpler phrases like 「本当に思っている」 (hontou ni omotteiru - truly thinking/feeling) or 「嘘じゃない」 (uso janai - not a lie). However, using 誠意 in a casual setting wouldn't be wrong, just a bit more emphatic than usual.
Let's break it down!
誠 (sei): This kanji means 'sincerity,' 'truth,' or 'fidelity.' It's also found in words like 誠実 (seijitsu - sincere) and 誠に (makoto ni - truly/indeed).
意 (i): This kanji means 'mind,' 'heart,' 'intention,' or 'meaning.' You'll see it in words like 意見 (iken - opinion) and 意味 (imi - meaning).
So, literally, 誠意 combines 'sincerity' and 'intention/mind' to convey the idea of genuine intentions or earnest feelings.
That's an interesting thought! While 誠意 inherently implies genuine sincerity, you can express the idea of 'false sincerity' by pairing it with negative verbs or adjectives. For example:
誠意がない (seii ga nai) - lacking sincerity
彼の謝罪には誠意がなかった。 (Kare no shazai ni wa seii ga nakatta.)
His apology lacked sincerity.
You could also say 偽りの誠意 (itsuwari no seii) - false sincerity, though this is a stronger, more direct accusation.
Yes, there are a couple of common set phrases you'll encounter:
1. 誠意を込めて (seii o komete) - with all one's sincerity/heartfelt
誠意を込めてお礼を申し上げます。 (Seii o komete orei o moshiagemasu.)
I sincerely express my gratitude.
2. 誠意ある対応 (seii aru taiou) - sincere response/handling
お客様への誠意ある対応を心がけています。 (Okyaku-sama e no seii aru taiou o kokorogakete imasu.)
We strive for a sincere response to our customers.
When apologizing in Japan, showing 誠意 is absolutely crucial. A simple 'sorry' isn't always enough; the expectation is to convey genuine regret and an earnest intention to rectify the situation or prevent it from happening again. This often involves specific actions beyond just words. When someone says 「誠意を見せてください」 (seii o misete kudasai - please show your sincerity), they're asking for more than just an verbal apology; they're looking for tangible proof of your remorse.
There's certainly an overlap, but they're not exact synonyms. Goodwill often refers to the friendly feeling or positive relationship between parties, or the positive reputation of a business. While sincerity (誠意) can certainly contribute to goodwill, 誠意 itself focuses more on the genuine nature of one's intentions or actions. You could have goodwill towards someone without necessarily performing an act of 誠意, and conversely, an act of 誠意 can build goodwill.
A common mistake is trying to use 誠意 as a direct translation for the adjective 'sincere.' As we discussed, you can't say 「彼は誠意な人です」 (Kare wa seii na hito desu). You need to use 誠実 (seijitsu) as the adjective for a sincere person, or structure your sentence to use 誠意 as a noun with verbs like 示す (shimesu - to show) or ある (aru - to have/exist). Always remember that 誠意 is a noun in itself.

Summary
誠意 is about genuine feelings and honesty in actions, a key concept in Japanese communication.
- Honesty
- Genuineness
- Sincere feelings
Understanding 誠意
誠意 (せい い) is about showing true feelings and honesty. It's more than just being polite; it's about being genuinely considerate.
誠意 in business
In a business context, 誠意 is crucial. For example, if you make a mistake, showing 誠意 when apologizing (誠意を見せる) means taking full responsibility and making amends.
Expressing 誠意
You can express 誠意 (誠意を表す, せいいをあらわす) through your words and actions. It's about demonstrating your good intentions.
誠意 vs. 本音
While both relate to truth, 誠意 is about sincere behavior, and 本音 (ほんね) is about your true feelings or opinions, which might not always be openly expressed depending on the situation.
