문화적 배경
In Japan, the concept of 'separation' is deeply tied to the meticulous waste management system. Children are taught from a young age to categorize and separate materials for the sake of the environment. This has made the term 'bunri' feel like a standard part of responsible citizenship rather than just a scientific word.
The 'Suru' Shortcut
You can often drop the 'o' and just say 'bunri suru' in fast speech. It means the same thing but feels a bit more like a single verb.
Not for People
Avoid using this for human relationships. Saying you want to 'bunri' from a friend sounds like you are removing a tumor or a chemical impurity. Use 'hanareru' instead.

What It Means
Imagine you have a bowl of mixed beads. You want to sort them by color. That process of picking them apart is 分離をする. It is a bit more formal than the simple word for 'divide.' It implies a clear, intentional boundary between two things. You are not just moving things. You are making sure they do not touch or mix anymore. It sounds smart and precise.
How To Use It
You take the noun 分離 and attach をする. Because it is a 'Suru-verb,' it is very flexible. You can use it for physical objects like oil and water. You can also use it for abstract things. Think about your 'work-life balance.' That is a classic case of 分離をする. You are drawing a line in the sand. It is often used in professional or academic settings.
When To Use It
Use this when you want to sound accurate. It is perfect for science experiments. It is also the go-to phrase for recycling. Japan loves recycling! You will see it when talking about separating plastic from paper. Use it in business when splitting departments. If you are a tech person, use it for 'separation of concerns' in code. It makes you sound like you know your stuff.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for a romantic breakup. If you tell your partner you want to 分離をする, they will think you are a robot. Use 別れる instead. Also, avoid it for very simple daily tasks. You do not 'separate' your socks with this word. That is just 分ける. Using 分離をする for laundry makes it sound like a chemical process. Keep it for things that require a bit more 'oomph.'
Cultural Background
Japan is the world champion of sorting trash. Every household performs 分離 every single day. You have to separate the caps from the bottles. You separate the labels from the plastic. This cultural obsession with order makes 分離 a very common concept. It reflects the Japanese value of 'everything in its right place.' It is not just a chore. It is a social duty.
Common Variations
You will often hear 分離させる. This means 'to make something separate.' It is common when talking about machines or external forces. Another one is 分離符, which refers to separator marks in writing. In chemistry, you might hear 遠心分離, which is using a centrifuge. The root 分離 is the building block for many technical terms.
사용 참고사항
The phrase is neutral but leans towards formal or technical contexts. It is most commonly used when discussing systems, science, or organized processes like recycling.
The 'Suru' Shortcut

The Trash Secret
In Japan, if you don't 'bunri' your trash correctly, the garbage collectors might leave a 'shame sticker' on your bag and refuse to take it!
