Explanation

The Japanese verb '売れる (うれる)' means 'to sell' or 'to be sold'. It is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take a direct object and focuses on the item being sold rather than the act of selling. This verb is often used to describe items that are popular or in demand. For example: This product sells well「この商品はよく売れる」(このしょうひんはよくうれる). The new smartphone sold out quickly「新しいスマートフォンはすぐに売れた」(あたらしいスマートフォンはすぐにうれた). Note that '売れる' is different from '売る (うる)', which is a transitive verb meaning 'to sell' and requires a direct object.
