خلفية ثقافية
Attendance in Japanese culture is a sign of 'wa' (harmony). Being present at a meeting, even if you are silent, signifies your support for the group's decision-making process. The term 'shusseki' is also used in schools, where daily attendance is strictly recorded and highly valued.
The 'Ni' Rule
Always pair 'shusseki' with the particle 'ni'. If you use 'o', it sounds like you are trying to 'do' the attendance as a task rather than being at the event.
Don't be too stiff
If you're just going to a casual lunch with coworkers, avoid 'shusseki'. Use 'iku' (go) instead, or you'll sound like a robot.

What It Means
At its heart, 会議に出席する means you are going to be in the room (or the Zoom call) when a meeting happens. It’s the bread and butter of Japanese office life. While deru (to go out/appear) is common, shusseki suru sounds more official. It suggests you are a formal member of the gathering. Think of it as 'registering' your presence.
How To Use It
You simply take the noun 会議 (meeting), add the particle に, and follow it with the verb 出席する. If you're talking to a boss, use 出席します. If you're chatting with a work buddy, 出席する or 出席するよ works great. It’s like a Lego set—just snap the pieces together. You can also swap 会議 for other formal events like 結婚式 (wedding) or 授業 (class).
When To Use It
Use this in any professional or academic setting. It’s perfect for emails, calendar invites, or when your boss asks if you're coming to the 2 PM sync. It’s the 'safe' choice for work. If you want to sound like you have your life together, use this phrase. It shows you respect the structure of the event.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this for casual hangouts. If you tell a friend you will 出席する their birthday party, they might think you’re bringing a clipboard and a suit. It’s too stiff for a 飲み会 (drinking party) or a casual lunch. For those, just use 行く (go) or 参加する (participate). Also, avoid it if you're just 'dropping by' for a second.
Cultural Background
In Japan, showing up is often considered more important than what you actually say. This is the culture of 'attendance.' Being present shows respect for the group and the hierarchy. Many Japanese meetings are about consensus-building, so your physical presence signals your agreement. Even if you don't speak, your shusseki (attendance) matters deeply to the team dynamic.
Common Variations
You’ll often hear 会議に出る (kaigi ni deru) in daily conversation. It’s the shorter, slightly more casual cousin. If you're the one running the meeting, you might say 会議を開催する (kaigi o kaisai suru). If you’re unfortunately skipping it, you’d use 欠席する (kesseki suru). Just don't make a habit of that last one if you want that promotion!
ملاحظات الاستخدام
This phrase is neutral to formal. Use it in professional settings, emails, and school environments. Avoid it in casual social gatherings to prevent sounding overly stiff.
The 'Ni' Rule
Always pair 'shusseki' with the particle 'ni'. If you use 'o', it sounds like you are trying to 'do' the attendance as a task rather than being at the event.
Don't be too stiff
If you're just going to a casual lunch with coworkers, avoid 'shusseki'. Use 'iku' (go) instead, or you'll sound like a robot.
The Silent Attendee
In Japan, 'shusseki' is often about 'kuuki o yomu' (reading the air). Even if you don't say a word, your presence is a form of communication.
