使い方のコツ
Remember that "majority" is usually followed by "of" + a plural noun, like "the majority of people." Don't confuse it with "major," which means important or main. You'll also see it in set phrases like "vast majority" (an overwhelming amount) or "absolute majority" (more than 50% in a vote). Compare it with "most": "most" is more casual and can stand alone ("Most people agree"), while "majority" is more formal and usually needs "of" ("The majority of people agree").
