留まる: stop. The Japanese verb '留まる (とまる)' primarily means 'to stop'. It is used to indicate that something or someone comes to a halt or ceases movement. This verb can be applied to both physical and abstract contexts. For example: the train stopped「電車が留まった」(でんしゃがとまった). The conversation stopped「会話が留まった」(かいわがとまった). It's important to note that '留まる' can also imply a temporary pause or staying in a place for a short period, but the core meaning remains centered around the concept of stopping.
