A Complete Guide to Figure Out “taisetsu” and “daiji”

I’ve prepared what the difference between 大切たいせつ(taisetsu) and 大事だいじ(daiji) is for you studying Japanese quite hard. After reading this, you would be able to figure it out and use these words from today. Let me introduce how you correctly figure 大切たいせつ and 大事だいじ out today!

大切たいせつ (taisetsu)

Cherish / Take good care of

“大切たいせつにする(taisetsu ni suru)” means “Cherish / Take good care of” and which has been using as the meaning of necessity from the bottom your heart, unlike 大事だいじ(daiji) which I wrote down below. The words of “大切たいせつな___(Cherished ___)” or “___大切たいせつにする(I cherish ___)” are “大切たいせつな人ひと(Loved ones)(taisetsu na hito)”, “子供こどもを大切たいせつに育そだてている(I cherish my children.)(kodomo wo taisetsu ni sodatete iru)”, “両親りょうしんを大切たいせつにしています(I take good care of my parents.)(ryōshin wo taisetsu ni shite imasu)”, etc. So, normally native Japanese speakers don’t say “大切たいせつな用事ようじ(taisetsu na yōji)” instead of “大事だいじな用事ようじ(daiji na yōji)” which sounds better.

Sample

yuka

親おやは大切たいせつにね。 (Take care of your parents.) (要对父母好) (부모님은 소중히 여겨.) (Hãy trân trọng bố mẹ mình đi đấy.) (oya wa taisetsu ni ne.)

tatsuya

子供こどものころの思おもい出でを大切たいせつにしてるよ。 (I cherish the precious memories of my childhood.) (我珍惜童年的回忆。) (어린 시절의 추억을 소중히 여기고 있어.) (Tớ rất trân trọng những kỷ niệm thời thơ ấu đấy.) (kodomo no koro no omoide wo taisetsu ni shiteru yo.)

yuka

何なにそれ？ (What’s this?) (那是什么？) (그게 뭐야?) (Cái gì thế này?) (nani sore?)

tatsuya

去年亡きょねんなくなったじいちゃんからもらった大切たいせつなプレゼントなんだ。 (This is the gift my grandpa gave me who passed away last year.) (这是我去年过世的爷爷送我的重要礼物。) (작년에 돌아가신 할아버지께 받은 소중한 선물이야.) (Đây là món quà rất quan trọng của ông tớ cho tớ trước khi mất năm ngoái.) (kyonen nakunatta jīchan kara moratta taisetsu na purezento na’nda.)

大事だいじ(daiji)

Important / Take good care of

“大事だいじ(daiji)” means “Important” and which has been using as the meaning of calculating profit and loss, unlike 大切たいせつ(taisetsu). So the nuance of “大切たいせつな人ひと(Loved ones)” and “大事だいじな人ひと(important person)” are a little bit different from each other. What about “大切たいせつなもの” and “大事だいじもの”? For instance, “大切たいせつなもの” is one of the presents from your grandma, grandpa passed away and which you won’t be able to throw away because you love them. Whereas “大事だいじもの” is health, time, money, job, etc. Lastly, “両親りょうしんからの大切たいせつな手紙てがみ“(Cherished Letters from my parents) and “学校がっこう/会社かいしゃからの大事だいじな手紙てがみ“(Important letters from my school/office).
