転落

This is the 10006th most frequent Japanese word.


転落

"Fall; decline; tumble."


In this sentence, '転落' is used to describe a physical fall from a high place, which is its basic meaning.

彼は崖から転落して怪我をしました。

He fell from a cliff and got injured.


Here, '転落' conveys a figurative meaning of experiencing failure or decline.

彼女の計画は、大きな転落を迎えた。

Her plan met a significant downfall.


'転落' here again bears a figurative nuance, showing a sudden decline in life circumstances or status.

彼の人生の急激な転落に驚いた。

I was shocked by his sudden downward turn in life.
