について

concerning, regarding

Noun + について

This grammar point is used to indicate the topic or subject matter that one is thinking, speaking, writing, or investigating. It is the equivalent of 'about' or 'concerning' in English.

Noun + について / についての

The particle について follows a noun to show that the noun is the topic of the action. When it directly precedes a verb, it ends in について. When it modifies another noun, it becomes についての.

I am thinking about the future.

Please talk about your family.

I read a book about history.

Note

When について is used to modify a following noun, it must take the form についての. For example: 'A book about Japan' becomes '日本についての本'.
