    余計: extra or unnecessary. The Japanese adjectival noun '余計 (よけい)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'extra', referring to something additional or surplus. For example: I bought extra food「余計な食べ物を買った」(よけいなたべものをかった). The second meaning is 'unnecessary', referring to something that is not needed or excessive. For example: His comments were unnecessary「彼のコメントは余計だった」(かれのコメントはよけいだった). The word can also imply something is excessive or unwelcome, depending on the context. It is often used to describe actions, objects, or remarks that are either additional or superfluous.

    名誉: honor. The Japanese noun '名誉 (めいよ)' means 'honor' or 'reputation'. It refers to the respect and admiration that someone receives due to their achievements, status, or moral integrity. This word is often used in formal or serious contexts, such as discussing someone's legacy, professional standing, or personal dignity. For example: He values his honor above all「彼は名誉を何よりも重んじる」(かれはめいよをなによりもおもんじる). Losing honor is worse than losing money「名誉を失うことはお金を失うことより悪い」(めいよをうしなうことはおかねをうしなうことよりわるい). The word can also be used in phrases like '名誉を守る (めいよをまもる)' (to protect one's honor) or '名誉ある賞 (めいよあるしょう)' (an honorable award).
