@amenokori: Two Ways to Use the Word 代表 The Japanese word 代表 (だいひょう) has two distinct meanings depending on the context. It functions as both a noun and a verb. You can use it to describe an official representative. You will see this used for a sports National Team as 日本代表 (にほんだいひょう) or a CEO as 代表取締役 (だいひょうとりしまりやく). You can also add the suffix 的 (てき) to form 代表的 (だいひょうてき). This translates to a prime example of a category, just like sushi represents Japanese food. #japanesevocabulary #studyjapanese #japaneseflashcards #learnjapanese
