議題

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 議題 (ぎだい) is a noun for an item or topic placed before a meeting for discussion.
• Basic usage: 最初の議題を読み上げる concerns reading an already established first item, while 予算を議題にする sets the budget as a topic for the next meeting.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Existing item versus making something an item
  • In 議題を読み上げる, the agenda item itself is the object. In 予算を議題にする, 予算を is what changes and 議題に is its resulting role, so the particle relations differ.
