English Explanation

激減 (げきげん): Both 激 (げき) and 減 (げん) use their standard On'yomi. 激 means 'intense' or 'severe,' and 減 means 'decrease.' The compound describes a sharp or drastic decrease. Incorrect readings like げきげき or げきべり misread 減 or use its Kun'yomi, respectively.

日本語解説

激減 (げきげん): 激(げき)と減(げん)は共に音読みです。激は「はげしい」という意味で、急激な減少を指します。「げきげき」や「げきべり」は、漢字の読み間違いや訓読みの混同です。
