| Jul 28, 2018 at 8:39 | comment | added | user3856370 | @YuuichiTam I'm sorry to say that "110 thousand people decreased" doesn't really make sense. Do you mean "decreased by 110 thousand" / "A reduction of/by 110 thousand people"? e.g. If we start with 30 people and then say 10人減 , do we finish with 20 people? Or do you mean the population started at 110 thousand and decreased to some unspecified number. I hope it's not this second meaning or I'll be really confused. | |

| Jul 28, 2018 at 5:03 | comment | added | Yuuichi Tam | ～人減 means "the number of people decreased". If it is used in the context of population, It means "the population of 110 thousand decreased." | |
