使い分け解説:
- 前提: Refers to a premise, prerequisite, or underlying assumption before taking action or making an argument. Often used as 前提条件 (prerequisite) or ...を前提とする (to assume ... as a premise). ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'We are discussing today's date strictly under the underlying assumption that "we are going to be together forever"! Make sure you don't go getting the prerequisite wrong!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『私たちはね、「将来ずっと一緒にいる」っていう当然の前提に基づいて、今日のデートの相談をしてるの!前提条件を根本から見違えないでよね、この鈍感!』
- 仮説: 何かの現象を説明するために、まだ証明されていないが正しいと仮定される考えや理論。研究や実験の出発点となります。 (An unproven idea or theory assumed to be true to explain some phenomenon. It serves as the starting point for research and experiments.)
