安定

• 読み: あんてい
• ローマ字: antei
• 漢字の分解: 安 (peace/ease) + 定 (settle/fix) → stability, steadiness; used to praise consistent quality
• 発音: /a.n.te.i/

意味

Stable or consistently reliable — praise for someone or something that always delivers a solid, dependable result.

While 安定 literally means 'stability,' in casual usage it functions as a compliment meaning 'reliably good' or 'consistently delivers.' Used for restaurants (安定に美味しい, reliably delicious), content creators (安定に面白い, always entertaining), and people (安定の○○, the ever-reliable so-and-so). It praises consistency rather than peak performance.

例文

1. このお店のラーメンは安定に美味しい。
2. あの実況者の配信はいつも安定に面白い。
3. テスト毎回90点以上って安定感やばいね。

避ける言い方
