といわれている

といわれている is used to report what people say or what is commonly believed about something. It expresses hearsay or a generally held opinion, with a sense of uncertainty or distance from the speaker. It often describes a state that is considered true by many people, even if the speaker hasn’t observed it directly. The speaker attributes the information to others, rather than stating it as a fact. Usage tips: - Use with a quoted phrase or clause in dictionary form after といわれている. - You can attach it to nouns or adjectives to relay what is commonly said about them. - The nuance is less assertive than saying 〜と言われている as a fact; it’s more like “it is said that …” or “people say that …”.
