adverb
generally; overall; as a whole
Used to describe a situation, trend, or evaluation that applies broadly rather than to specific details. Common in both spoken and written Japanese.
今年の業績は全般的に良かった。
This year's performance was generally good.
全般的に見て、この計画はうまくいっている。
Overall, this plan is going well.
全体的に is very similar and often interchangeable, but 全般的に may emphasize a broader scope across categories or fields.
Formed from 全般 (whole, general) + 的 (suffix forming adjectival nouns) + に (adverbial form).
