    Explanation

    The Japanese suffix '院 (いん)' is commonly used to denote institutions, particularly those related to healthcare, education, or religious establishments. It is often attached to nouns to specify the type of institution. For example: hospital「病院」(びょういん), temple「寺院」(じいん), or graduate school「大学院」(だいがくいん).
