1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 前傾(ぜんけい) denotes a forward lean of a body or object.
  • Basic usage: It describes leaning the body slightly forward while going up a slope.
    • 坂を上るときは体を少し前傾させた。

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Leaning and moving
    • 前傾する concerns a forward tilt in orientation or angle. 前進する(ぜんしんする) means moving forward in position, so its focus differs from describing the body's tilt.
