手段 vs 方法

方法 (hōhō) is a general 'way' or 'method', whereas 手段 (shudan) focuses specifically on the tool or tactic used to reach a goal.

📝

使い方のコツ

手段 is often used when there is a clear goal in mind. It can sometimes carry a cold or tactical nuance, especially in the phrase 'shudan o erabanai' (not caring about the means).

⚠️

よくある間違い

Learners often use 手段 when they mean 'how-to' (using a recipe or manual), where 作り方 (tsukurikata) or 方法 (hōhō) is more natural.

💡
