This is the 1046th most frequent Japanese word.
同社
The Japanese word "同社" means "the same company."
Here, '同社' is used to indicate 'the same company previously introduced in the conversation or text'. It provides continuity and avoids redundancy in mentioning the same entity.
私たちは昨日、同社の製品について話し合いました。
Yesterday, we discussed the company’s products.
Similarly, '同社' in this sentence is indicating 'the previously mentioned company', contextualized by prior mentions or knowledge of the entity being referred to, maintaining terseness in the narrative.
彼は同社の役員会に出席しました。
He attended the company's board meeting.
In this sentence, '同社' refers to 'the same company mentioned earlier', assuming that the previous context in the conversation or text specified a company. It serves to efficiently refer back to a company already introduced without repeating its name.
