    親類: relative. The Japanese noun '親類 (しんるい)' refers to a 'relative' or 'relation', specifically someone connected by blood or marriage. It is a general term used to describe family members beyond the immediate family, such as cousins, aunts, uncles, or in-laws. For example: He is my relative「彼は私の親類です」(かれはわたしのしんるいです). We have many relatives「私たちは親類が多いです」(わたしたちはしんるいがおおいです). The word is often used in formal or neutral contexts and can sometimes imply a broader family network.

    涙: tears. The Japanese noun '涙 (なみだ)' means 'tears'. This word refers to the drops of liquid that come from the eyes when someone cries, whether due to sadness, joy, or other strong emotions. It is commonly used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. For example: Tears fell from her eyes「彼女の目から涙が落ちた」(かのじょのめからなみだがおちた). He wiped away his tears「彼は涙を拭いた」(かれはなみだをぬぐった). The word can also appear in idiomatic expressions, such as '涙を流す (なみだをながす)', which means 'to shed tears'.
