How to say "Enforcement" in Japanese

When translating "enforcement" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 強行 and 施行. In Japanese, 強行 (きょうこう (kyoukou)) is typically associated with "enforcement, push through, strong action" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Refers to carrying out an action or decision forcefully, often against opposition or difficulty. Can be used as a verb. On the other hand, 施行 (しこう (shikō)) maps to "enforcement (of a law), putting into effect, implementation" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents 法律や条例などが実際に効力を発揮し、適用されることを指します。Primarily used for laws, ordinances, regulations, or policies being put into practice.. A literal translation of "enforcement" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
