質問: 普通 と 一般 はどう違いますか? 普通 と 一般 はどう違いますか?
回答: 普通 means "not special", 一般 means "commonly". 普通の方法 (not 普通な方法) and 一般的な方法 means the same. but some words are only used with either 普通 or 一般的. for example: 普通列車 is a train which stops every stations, without special charge. but in some railways, 普通列車 is fewer than 特急 (limited express). in such a railway, 普通列車 is not 一般. 一般的な誤り is a mistake which occures commonly. but a mistake is a special case, so it is not 普通 and 普通の誤り is not used.
