    Explanation

    The Japanese verbal noun '開会 (かいかい)' refers to the act of opening or commencing a meeting, conference, or event. It is commonly used in formal contexts to denote the start of organized gatherings. For example: The opening of the conference will be at 10 AM「開会は午前10時です」(かいかい は ごぜん じゅうじ です).
