Type

Noun (名詞)

Stroke Order

Meanings

  • General sense of how far something has advanced.
  • Pace or rate of development relative to a plan or target in formal contexts.
  • Used in discussions of class progress or project milestones to describe current status, not just final completion.

Composition

  • 進: to advance, move forward; progress
  • 度: degree, extent; measure
  • Combined: a noun meaning the degree or pace of progress in a process or project

Usage

Used in formal planning and reporting to indicate how far a process has progressed or the pace relative to a target; in everyday speech, 進度 is less common than 進捗. Examples: 授業の進度を確認するための報告書を提出する; プロジェクトの進度を週次で更新する; 研究の進度を測る指標を設定する.
💡 Tips
Mnemonic: imagine climbing stairs; 進 means to step forward and 度 counts the degrees of those steps, so 進度 is the measured progress you’ve earned toward your goal.
