How to say "Generally" in Japanese

When translating "generally" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 大体 and 一般に. In Japanese, 大体 (だいたい (daitai)) is typically associated with "generally, mostly, approximately, about" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Can indicate approximate quantity/time. On the other hand, 一般に (いっぱんに (ippan ni)) maps to "generally, in general, commonly" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Used to state a common truth or widely accepted fact.. A literal translation of "generally" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
