    Explanation

    The Japanese verbal noun '自習 (じしゅう)' means 'self-study'. It refers to the act of studying or learning something on one's own, without direct instruction or supervision from a teacher. This term is commonly used in educational contexts, such as schools or universities, where students are expected to engage in self-study outside of class. For example: I will do self-study at the library today「今日は図書館で自習します」(きょうはとしょかんでじしゅうします). The teacher told us to do self-study for the next chapter「先生は次の章を自習するように言いました」(せんせいはつぎのしょうをじしゅうするようにいいました). Note that '自習' is often used in the form '自習する (じしゅうする)', which functions as a verb meaning 'to self-study'.
