clear sign or expression of something

A clear sign or example that shows a feeling, quality, or idea.

用法パターン: a manifestation of [something]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes forget the article and say *"is manifestation of"* instead of *"is a manifestation of"*. Another mistake is using it when a simpler word like "sign" would sound more natural in everyday speech.
類義語
sign (More general and common; can be weaker or less formal than 'manifestation'.) | expression (Focuses on how something is shown outwardly, especially feelings or ideas.) | indication (Slightly weaker and more tentative; suggests pointing toward something rather than clearly showing it.)
対義語
concealment (Focuses on hiding something instead of showing it clearly.) | suppression (Emphasizes holding back or controlling a feeling or quality so it does not appear.)

symptom or sign of disease

A sign in the body that shows a disease or medical problem.

類義語
symptom (More common in everyday medical talk; often used for what the patient feels.) | clinical sign (More technical; often used for what a doctor can observe or measure.)
対義語
remission (Describes a period when disease signs lessen or disappear, the opposite of having clear manifestations.)

making desires real by intention

In self-help and spiritual talk, making your wishes become real by strongly focusing your mind on them.

用法パターン: manifestation of [desire/goal]
よくある間違い:
Learners may think this self-help meaning is the same as the formal meaning of "manifestation" as a general sign. In spiritual contexts it often implies a special method (visualization, affirmations), not just any result or success.
類義語
realization (More general and neutral; does not include the idea of using spiritual or mental techniques.) | attraction (Used within the phrase "law of attraction"; narrower and strongly tied to a specific belief system.)
対義語
frustration (Highlights the feeling when wishes or goals do not become real.) | non-fulfillment (Formal term for a goal or desire not being achieved.)

対義語
