目次: index or table of contents. The Japanese noun '目次 (もくじ)' refers to an 'index' or 'table of contents'. It is commonly used in books, documents, or any written material to list the sections, chapters, or topics along with their corresponding page numbers. This helps readers navigate the content easily. For example: The table of contents is at the beginning of the book「目次は本の最初にあります」(もくじはほんのさいしょにあります). Please check the index for more details「詳細は目次を確認してください」(しょうさいはもくじをかくにんしてください). Note that '目次' is often used interchangeably to refer to both an index and a table of contents, depending on the context.

黙る: silent. The Japanese verb '黙る (だまる)' means 'to be silent' or 'to stop talking'. It is used when someone chooses not to speak or stops speaking, often in response to a situation or request. This verb can imply a deliberate choice to remain quiet, sometimes out of defiance, contemplation, or simply because there is nothing to say. For example: He remained silent during the meeting「彼は会議中黙っていた」(かれはかいぎちゅうだまっていた). Please be quiet for a moment「ちょっと黙ってください」(ちょっとだまってください). The verb can also carry a nuance of stubbornness or refusal to engage in conversation, depending on the context.
