    学級: class. The Japanese noun '学級 (がっきゅう)' refers to a 'class' in the context of a group of students in a school. It specifically denotes a group of students who are taught together, often within the same grade or subject. This term is commonly used in educational settings to describe the organizational structure of students. For example: The class is quiet「学級は静かです」(がっきゅうはしずかです). I am the teacher of this class「私はこの学級の先生です」(わたしはこのがっきゅうのせんせいです). The term emphasizes the collective group of students rather than the physical classroom itself.

    顎: jaw. The Japanese noun '顎 (あご)' refers to the 'jaw', the bony structure that forms the framework of the mouth and holds the teeth. It is commonly used in both anatomical and everyday contexts. For example: my jaw hurts「顎が痛い」(あごがいたい). He has a strong jaw「彼は顎が強い」(かれはあごがつよい).
