What is the order of importance of 重大 重要 大切 大事
Good question. I checked with a native on this and received the following
reply, which I would concur with:

  * 重大 is definitely at the top as the most serious
  * 重要 is next
  * 大切 and 大事 are basically the same and are the most ゆるい of the set.

I hope that helps.
