Explanation

The Japanese verb '混じる (まじる)' means 'to mix' or 'to be mixed'. It is used to describe when two or more things are combined or blended together, often implying that the components are still distinguishable. This verb can be used in both literal and figurative contexts. For example: oil and water do not mix「油と水は混じらない」(あぶらとみずはまじらない). There is a foreigner mixed in the crowd「外国人は群衆に混じっている」(がいこくじんはぐんしゅうにまじっている). Note that '混じる' often implies a sense of blending without losing individuality, unlike '混ぜる (まぜる)', which implies a more active mixing process.
