    一度に: at once. The Japanese adverb '一度に (いちどに)' means 'at once' or 'all at once'. It is used to describe doing something all together or simultaneously, rather than in stages or one by one. This adverb can be used in various contexts, such as completing tasks, consuming items, or experiencing events. For example: I read all the books at once「一度に全部の本を読んだ」(いちどにぜんぶのほんをよんだ). He ate all the cookies at once「彼は一度に全部のクッキーを食べた」(かれはいちどにぜんぶのクッキーをたべた). The adverb emphasizes the idea of doing everything in a single action or moment.

    領土: territory. The Japanese noun '領土 (りょうど)' refers to 'territory', specifically the land or area that is under the control or jurisdiction of a particular country or ruler. It is often used in political, geographical, or historical contexts. For example: Japan's territory includes many islands「日本の領土には多くの島が含まれている」(にほんのりょうどにはおおくのしまがふくまれている). The dispute over the territory continues「領土をめぐる争いは続いている」(りょうどをめぐるあらそいはつづいている). This term is neutral and can be used in both formal and informal settings.

    奴: thing or guy. The Japanese noun '奴 (やつ)' is a colloquial term that can refer to a person or a thing, often with a slightly derogatory or informal tone. When referring to a person, it translates to 'guy' or 'fellow', and when referring to an object, it translates to 'thing'. It is commonly used in casual conversations and can carry a sense of familiarity or disdain depending on the context. For example: That guy is annoying「あの奴はうるさい」(あのやつはうるさい). What is that thing?「あの奴は何?」(あのやつはなに?). Note that while it can be used neutrally, it often implies a lack of respect or seriousness, so it should be used carefully in formal settings.

    怒鳴る: shout. The Japanese verb '怒鳴る (どなる)' means 'to shout' or 'to yell', often in an angry or harsh manner. It is used to describe raising one's voice loudly, typically in situations of frustration, anger, or to assert dominance. For example: He shouted at his subordinate「彼は部下に怒鳴った」(かれはぶかにどなった). Don't shout at me!「私に怒鳴らないで!」(わたしにどならないで!). The verb carries a negative connotation and is often associated with aggression or lack of control. It is important to distinguish it from neutral or positive forms of raising one's voice, such as calling out loudly (叫ぶ, さけぶ).
