How to say “reveal” in Japanese
“Reveal” in Japanese is 明かす (akasu).
It brings something to a clear endpoint, either by making hidden information known or by carrying a night through to dawn.
Example sentences with 明かす

Tips for using 明かす
- The same verb 明かす (akasu) also appears in 夜を明かす (yo o akasu), meaning to spend the night awake, so context distinguishes this sense from "reveal".
