    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '体質 (たいしつ)' refers to a person's physical constitution or body type. It describes the inherent characteristics of a person's body, such as their tendency to gain weight, susceptibility to certain illnesses, or general physical condition. For example: She has a weak constitution「彼女は体質が弱い」(かのじょはたいしつがよわい). My constitution doesn't handle cold weather well「私の体質は寒さに弱い」(わたしのたいしつはさむさによわい). This word can also be used metaphorically to describe the inherent nature or tendencies of organizations or systems, though this usage is less common.
