君主: monarch. The Japanese noun '君主 (くんしゅ)' refers to a 'monarch', a sovereign head of state, especially a king, queen, or emperor. This term is used in historical, political, and formal contexts to denote a ruler with supreme authority over a state or territory. For example: The monarch ruled the country wisely「君主は国を賢く治めた」(くんしゅはくにをかしこくおさめた). The power of the monarch was absolute「君主の権力は絶対的だった」(くんしゅのけんりょくはぜったいてきだった). The term can also be used metaphorically in literature or discussions about leadership and authority.

Example Word
訓読み: kunyomi. The Japanese verbal noun '訓読み (く んよみ)' refers to the Japanese reading of a kanji character, as opposed to the Chinese-derived '音読み (おんよみ)'. This reading is typically used when the kanji stands alone or is part of native Japanese words. For example: the kunyomi of 山 is 'やま'「山の訓読みは「やま」です」(やまのくんよみは「やま」です). Another example: I learned the kunyomi of this kanji「この漢字の訓読みを覚えました」(このかんじのくんよみをおぼえました). Understanding kunyomi is essential for reading and comprehending native Japanese vocabulary.
