JLPT N2 Vocabulary List: ~1,750 New Words Beyond N3, by Register

The JLPT N2 vocabulary list is the upper-intermediate set of words you need to read newspaper and magazine articles, follow news reports, and function in workplace and academic Japanese.¹ N2 is also the certificate most employers and many universities screen for. So the value of this page is not another flat word dump, but the register shift that the new-at-N2 layer encodes.²

Overview

"N2 vocabulary" is cumulative. The widely used figure is roughly 6,000 total recognition words. That total already contains the N3 words, which in turn contain the N4 and N5 layers. The JLPT Vocabulary by Level: How Many Words for N5 to N1 hub lays out this cumulative-versus-new layering across all five levels.³⁴ This article foregrounds the layer that is genuinely new at N2: roughly 1,750 words (band ~1,500–2,000) beyond N3, organized by register.³⁵

Both numbers are unofficial community counts. The Japan Foundation and JEES publish no "Test Content Specification" listing vocabulary, kanji, or grammar items, a decision tied to the 2010 test revision. So every "N2 list" in circulation is a community reconstruction, not a JEES document.⁶

The figures here are the community consensus drawn from durable reconstructions such as the Tanos list, jpdb, and JLPTsensei.³⁵⁷⁴

N2 is the level institutional gatekeepers ask for

Many employers list N2 as the minimum for foreign hires, and many universities set N2 as an admission bar. Under the April 15, 2026 work-visa revision, certain Engineer / Specialist-in-Humanities / International-Services applicants may need to demonstrate roughly N2-level Japanese.²

Exam mechanics (sections, scoring, sitting dates) belong to the JLPT overview article. General word-count and coverage theory belongs to the How Many Japanese Words Do You Need to Be Fluent? article. Neither is re-derived here.

How N2 builds on N3

N2 (cumulative ~6,000) is approximately the full N3 base (~3,750 words, which already contains the N4 and N5 layers) plus roughly 1,750 new words.³⁵ This page lists that new layer, organized by register. For the intermediate base, use the JLPT N3 Vocabulary List. For the foundation under it, use the JLPT N4 Vocabulary List and JLPT N5 Vocabulary List. The next level up is the JLPT N1 Vocabulary List.

The new layer is where Japanese shifts from "can handle daily life and easy news" to "can function in workplace, formal, and current-affairs contexts."¹ The make-up of the new-at-N2 list bears this out: business and institutional terms, news and current-affairs compounds, abstract academic nouns, and a heavy wave of 漢語 する-verbs.⁵⁴

The N2 hook: the register shift employers screen for

What makes a word N2 is usually not that it is more "daily-life." It is that the word belongs to the business, news and current-affairs, or academic and formal registers. The official can-do bar for N2 reading is "articles and commentaries in newspapers and magazines." For listening, it is following "news reports." That is precisely the register the new layer supplies.¹

That new layer is dominated by heavier 漢語 (Sino-Japanese on'yomi compounds), formal set phrases, and written-register connectives. Sino-Japanese vocabulary (kango) makes up roughly 60% of dictionary words but only about 18–20% of ordinary speech. Its share rises sharply in formal, literary, abstract, and news or academic register, which is exactly the register N2 adds.⁸ To drill how these compounds are built and read, see the Jukugo (熟語): How Kanji Combine to Form Japanese Words article. This section only names the phenomenon.

Why "~1,750 new" and not an exact number

The count is an unofficial community consensus, not a JEES list.⁶ Cumulative N2 totals cluster around 6,000 across sources (Tanos ~6,000; JLPTsensei "about 6,000") because each source reconstructs the post-2010 list differently.³⁴

The new layer is itself a range, and the tempting subtraction (~6,000 cumulative N2 minus ~3,750 cumulative N3) badly overstates it. Counted directly from the community lists, the new-at-N2 layer lands near 1,750: the Tanos new-words-only N2 list is roughly 1,730–1,750 items, jpdb's frequency-derived N2 list reports 1,242 entries, and Amenokori's N2 deck is 1,477 (plus 855 extended).⁵⁷⁹ Treat "~1,750 new" as the round figure most aligned with the exam-spec reconstruction, while acknowledging the wider variation.

How to read this list

Each table below shows words new at N2, grouped by register. The columns are the kanji form, the kana reading, optional romaji, an English gloss, and a register or する-verb note.

Because this page shows only the new-at-N2 layer, common N3, N4, and N5 carryovers are intentionally absent. The cumulative N2 inventory is the N3 list plus these words. Many 漢語 entries double as する-verbs, so the tables flag that where it applies.⁵⁴

What's new at N2: vocabulary by register

The entries below are representative anchors confirmed on the new-at-N2 community lists, not the full ~1,750-word inventory. The published reference lists extend each bucket from the same sources.⁴ Vocabulary-membership citations attach to the word, never to an example sentence.

Business and the workplace (ビジネス・職場)

This is the headline N2 register: the workplace and institutional lexicon that makes you functional on the job.

Kanji form	Reading	Romaji	Gloss	Also する-verb?
企業	きぎょう	kigyō	enterprise, company	n/a
取引	とりひき	torihiki	transaction, dealings, trade	yes (取引する)

"I am a member of the sales department."

This bucket overlaps heavily with keigo, but the honorific forms belong to the keigo cluster. Here the focus is only the lexicon.¹ To drill workplace titles and office usage, see the Japanese Work and Office Vocabulary: 社長/部長/課長 Titles, 働く vs 勤める, and Workplace Keigo article.

News and current affairs (ニュース・時事)

This is the register that unlocks NHK Easy, regular news, and non-fiction reading.

政府	せいふ	seifu	government	n/a
政策	せいさく	seisaku	policy	n/a
経済	けいざい	keizai	economy	n/a

"Earthquakes and floods are natural disasters."

犯罪はんざいが増加ぞうかしている。¹⁰
"Crime is on the increase."

The official N2 reading can-do is explicitly "articles and commentaries in newspapers and magazines." The listening bar is following "news reports."¹ This bucket is the N2 payoff for immersion.

Academic and formal register (学術・硬い表現)

This is the abstract layer that most clearly separates N2 from N3: the words of essays, textbooks, and exam passages.

Kanji form	Reading	Romaji	Gloss	Also する-verb?
概念	がいねん	gainen	concept, notion	n/a
傾向	けいこう	keikō	tendency, trend	n/a

"The structure of the brain is complicated."

さらなる分析ぶんせきが必要ひつようだ。¹⁰
"Further analysis is required."

These are written-register and exam-text words. They pair naturally with the formal connectives below. Many double as する-verbs (分析する, 評価する).⁴

Heavier 漢語 compounds and する-verbs (漢語＋する)

This bucket captures the surge in Sino-Japanese high-yield verbs and compounds.

Kanji form	Reading	Romaji	Gloss	する-verb
検討	けんとう	kentō	examination, consideration	検討する
実施	じっし	jisshi	enforcement, implementation	実施する
把握	はあく	haaku	grasp, comprehension	把握する
対応	たいおう	taiō	response, handling	対応する
影響	えいきょう	eikyō	influence, effect	影響する
効果	こうか	kōka	effect, efficacy	n/a
手続き	てつづき	tetsuzuki	procedure, formalities	n/a

その法律ほうりつは４月がつ１日にちから実施じっしされる。¹⁰
"The law will be effective from the 1st of April."

彼女かのじょは情勢じょうせいを把握はあくすることができる。¹⁰
"She is able to grasp the situation."

これも温暖化おんだんかの影響えいきょうか？¹⁰
"Is this another effect of global warming?"

The 漢語＋する pattern is one of the dominant new verb types at N2.⁸ To drill how the compounds are built and how する turns them into verbs, see the "Jukugo (熟語): How Kanji Combine to Form Japanese Words" article and the Suru-Verbs (する-Verbs): How する Turns Nouns Into Verbs article.

Formal connectives and written-register expressions (硬い接続・書き言葉)

N2 adds the formal and written connectives that shape academic and business writing. These are vocabulary and grammar-adjacent: the table names the high-frequency members, and the grammar articles cover how they attach.

Form	Reading	Romaji	Gloss / function
したがって	したがって	shitagatte	therefore, consequently
において	において	ni oite	in, at, on (formal locative/topic)
に関して	にかんして	ni kanshite	concerning, regarding
に対して	にたいして	ni taishite	toward, in contrast to
に基づいて	にもとづいて	ni motozuite	based on
にもかかわらず	にもかかわらず	nimokakawarazu	in spite of, despite
一方	いっぽう	ippō	on the other hand, meanwhile

The example below is a labeled constructed minimal sentence (no corpus citation), because corpus sentences that isolate each formal connective at clean N2 register tend to import higher-level vocabulary.

これらの規則きそくにおいて例外れいがいはない。
"There are no exceptions in these rules." (constructed example illustrating において)

For how these connectives conjugate and attach, see the Japanese Conjunctions Overview: Clause-Linkers (接続助詞) vs. Sentence-Connectors (接続詞) article. Where an item has its own dedicated article, go there: the に関して compound particle and the にもかかわらず pattern are both covered individually.

Set phrases and 慣用句-adjacent expressions (慣用表現)

N2 reading and listening lean on idiomatic set phrases and light 慣用句, plus the everyday four-character compounds that show up at this level. This bucket is lighter than the core register buckets above.

Form	Reading	Romaji	Gloss / function
気を付ける	きをつける	ki o tsukeru	to be careful, to take care
〜にあたって	にあたって	ni atatte	on the occasion of, when doing
〜をめぐって	をめぐって	o megutte	concerning, surrounding (an issue)
〜に違いない	にちがいない	ni chigai nai	there is no doubt that, must be
一石二鳥	いっせきにちょう	isseki nichō	two birds with one stone (yojijukugo)

The example below is a labeled constructed minimal sentence (no corpus citation).

体からだに気きを付つけてね。
"Take care of yourself." (constructed example illustrating the fixed expression 気を付ける)

To drill the four-character set specifically, see the Top 50 Yojijukugo for N2: Readings, Meanings, Examples article, which is scoped to exactly this level. This section only names the category and its most frequent members.

N2 kanji coverage

The kanji newly tied to the N2 tier number roughly 370 characters. The cumulative N2 kanji requirement is commonly cited at about 1,000, "including kanji from N3, N4 & N5."¹¹³ Both figures are hedged, unofficial counts: JLPTsensei states "374 kanji are specific to N2 level," and Tanos frames the cumulative requirement as approximately 1,000.¹¹³

The N2 kanji push past the elementary (grade 1–6 教育漢字) set into the secondary-school jōyō layer. Because the 漢語 register surge means most new N2 words are on'yomi compounds, kanji and vocabulary now reinforce each other tightly. Each new character unlocks several compounds, and most new N2 words are written in kanji.⁸

The main drill target is the Secondary School Jōyō Kanji (中学校 + 高等学校): The 1,110-Character Set Beyond Elementary article. The Grade 5 Jōyō Kanji (小5) and Grade 6 Jōyō Kanji (小6) articles cover the upper-elementary characters the N2 register also leans on. For why this layer is so 漢語-heavy in the first place, see the Wago, Kango, Gairaigo, Konshugo: The Four Vocabulary Strata of Japanese article.

How to actually learn the new N2 words

The general acquisition method belongs to the How to Learn Japanese Vocabulary: A Strategy by Level article. What is N2-specific is the pacing and the source choice.

As a worked estimate on the new-word count, about 1,750 new words at 20–25 new cards per day clears in roughly 70–90 days, around 2.5 to 3 months, on top of a solid N3 base. It takes longer if the base still needs shoring up.⁵ This is arithmetic on the delta, not an external claim.

Two facts shape the method. First, the JLPT measures recognition (reading and listening), not production, so passive recognition of the new words is the exam bar.⁶¹ Second, N2 is cumulative, so the exam still draws on all the N3, N4, and N5 words. The new ~1,750 are an addition, not a replacement.³⁵

The 漢語 density makes kanji-and-vocabulary co-study, paired with news immersion, especially efficient at N2. The same on'yomi recurs across many compounds, so each new character unlocks several words.⁸

Recommended deck and list sources

The de facto standard community sources for the new-at-N2 inventory are durable reference lists, not an official document.⁶ The named, verifiable sources are:

• Jonathan Waller's Tanos N2 list, reconstructed from the pre-2010 spec; the new-at-N2 layer runs to about 1,750 words, framed against an approximately 6,000 cumulative / 1,000 kanji requirement.³⁵
• jpdb's frequency-ordered N2 vocabulary list, reporting 1,242 entries on a corpus-media reconstruction.⁷
• JLPTsensei's N2 vocabulary and kanji references, with per-entry readings and glosses, 374 N2-specific kanji, and an "about 6,000" cumulative figure.⁴¹¹

The widely used commercial study series (JLPT Tango N2, Nihongo Sou-Matome N2, Shin Kanzen Master N2) are well-known print products. But as paywalled materials, they do not resolve to an open-web reference page with a citable N2 word count, so they are named here without a sourced count.

Amenokori app callout

Drill the N2 delta with FSRS-scheduled, level-mapped decks

To cover the new-at-N2 delta this article describes, J-Compass recommends Amenokori. Its N2 deck (1,477 words plus 855 extended) arrives as its own level-mapped set, pre-built and FSRS-scheduled rather than something you assemble and grade yourself.⁹ For where it fits among other tools, see the Choosing Your First Japanese Resources: Free vs. Paid article and the How to Learn Japanese Vocabulary: A Strategy by Level article.

Good to know

Treating "~6,000" as words to learn fresh for N2

The ~6,000 figure is the cumulative total. It already includes the ~3,750 N3 words and the N4 and N5 base under those. Only about 1,750 are new at N2. Budgeting study for 6,000 fresh words double-counts the lower-level base you already hold.³⁵

Chasing a single "correct" N2 count

The new-at-N2 layer is reconstructed differently by each list. Tanos puts it near 1,750, jpdb reports 1,242 on a frequency basis, and Amenokori's N2 deck is 1,477 plus 855 extended, against cumulative totals around 6,000.⁵⁷⁹³⁴ The "~6,000 minus ~3,750" subtraction overstates the new layer. The lists are unofficial post-2010 reconstructions, so no single total is canonical.⁶

Neglecting the N3, N4, and N5 base while chasing the new ~1,750

N2 is cumulative, so the exam still draws on all the lower-level words. The new layer is an addition, not a replacement, and a strong base is what makes the new register words readable in context.³⁵

The 漢語 surge means kanji study pays compounding interest

Kango is roughly 60% of dictionary vocabulary and concentrates in abstract, formal, and news or academic register.⁸ Since most new N2 words are on'yomi compounds, the same on'yomi recurs across many of them. Each new kanji you learn unlocks several words at once.

Many N2 nouns double as する-verbs

Learn the verb form alongside the noun (検討 and 検討する, 実施 and 実施する, 対応 and 対応する). The 漢語＋する pattern is a dominant new verb type at N2. If you learn only the noun, you leave half the word unused.⁴

Recognition, not production, is the exam bar

The JLPT tests reading and listening, so passive recognition of the new N2 words is sufficient to pass.⁶¹ Productive recall is a separate, higher goal worth pursuing, but it is not what the certificate measures.

The business register overlaps heavily with keigo

The workplace lexicon and the honorific forms travel together, so an N2 learner benefits from pairing this list with the keigo grammar articles.¹ For the honorific forms themselves, see the Keigo Grammar Overview: How to Conjugate Honorific, Humble, and Polite Verbs article and the How to Write a Japanese Business Email: Keigo Guide article; this list covers only the lexicon.

News and academic register unlocks regular news and non-fiction

The 政府, 政策, 経済, 選挙, 報道, 概念, 分析 layer is what makes regular news and non-fiction reading possible. The official N2 can-do bar is exactly newspaper and magazine articles and news reports,¹ so pair the list with immersion to build reading speed.
