よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "imperial" with "royal." "Imperial" usually refers to an empire or an emperor, while "royal" normally refers to a kingdom ruled by a king or queen. Learners may also use "imperial" when they really need the noun "empire" (e.g. saying *"the British imperial"* instead of *"the British Empire"*).

コロケーション
imperial style
|imperial manner
|imperial bearing
|imperial grandeur
|imperial ambitions
類義語
majestic (Focuses on impressive beauty and size; does not always suggest power or superiority over others.)
