Question about Japanese
Please show me example sentences with 要旨
、要領
、要綱
、要点.
Tell me as many daily expressions as possible.
挙げた文では勝手に代えられる場合もは教えてください。同じ使い方のある他の代えられる言葉あれば教えてください。定義を日本語でも調べたら、同じくらい「まとめたもの」みたいな説明ばかりで、実際の使い分けはわかりません。
Answer:
Imagine that you are listening someone's speech.
If you find some important points, you will write them down.
After that, you will have a bulleted list of several important points. That is "要点".
If you made a new text, well organized and easily understandable, which include the meanings of the list only, with no other information or opinion, for explaining the summary of the speech to others who didn't hear that, the text is "要旨".
"要領" means a guideline.
If there is an organization and participants. The organization has a guideline which the participants should obey. In such case, "要領" is used.
Therefore, if you made a speech, for example "The most impressive place I have ever been to", the summary of it is a "要旨", not a "要領". Because such a kind of speech has no guideline.
"要綱" means a brief text which describes the destination, the long term goal, the basic policy of an organization.
Exceptional usage of "要領" (replaceable with "要点")
Example text:
Tanaka requested Suzuki to explain what they should do.
But Suzuki's explanation was not to the point.
↑The second sentence can be translated into following 2 patterns.
(1) 鈴木の説明では要点がわからなかった
(2) 鈴木の説明は要領を得ていなかった
In this case, both "要領" and "要点" are usable, even if Suzuki's explanation was not about a guideline of an organization.
Because "Tanaka" needed the information "what they should do", this is a kind of guideline. So "要領" can be used there.
