Souvent confondu avec
Ninki means 'popularity' (being liked), while jinkō means the actual number of people (population).
Notes d'usage
Jinkō is primarily used to describe the count of people in a geographic region. In Japanese, you describe population size using '多い' (many) or '少ない' (few) rather than 'big' or 'small'.
Erreurs courantes
English speakers often try to use '大きい' (big) for a large population, but in Japanese, '人口が多い' (population is many) is the correct natural expression.
