Collocations

Mnemonic

Anzen (安全) is the Sino-Japanese "safety" — 安 (peace) + 全 (whole / complete) = "wholly peaceful." Na-adjective and noun. Antonym kiken (危険, danger). A core Japanese social term — anzen unten (safe driving), shokuhin anzen (food safety), roudou anzen (occupational safety), koutsuu anzen (traffic safety). Anzen daiichi (safety first) is the default slogan on construction sites and factories — paralleling Korean "an-jeon-je-il." Anzen hoshou (security assurance) is diplomatic / national-defense vocabulary. Anshin anzen (peace + safety, already covered) is a four-character government / corporate slogan staple. Korean "an-jeon / an-bo / an-sim" parallels. Japanese society's strong consensus on safety makes anzen socially weighty — a risk-aversion cultural code.
