1.
dramatic; like something out of a story
Describes an event, scene, or turn of events so striking that it feels staged. Used approvingly of exciting sports finishes and emotional moments, not of serious problems, where 深刻 is used instead.
ドラマチックな結末だった。
It was a dramatic ending.
From English 'dramatic.' Also spelled ドラマティック, which is common in music and film writing; the two are interchangeable.
Common collocations
- ドラマチックな展開: a dramatic turn of events
- ドラマチックな結末: a dramatic ending
- ドラマチックに変わる: to change dramatically
- ドラマチックな演出: dramatic staging
Usage
Unlike English 'dramatic,' the Japanese word is not used for a large change in numbers. For that, use 劇的に or 大幅に: 売り上げが大幅に伸びた, not ドラマチックに.
