    曇り: cloudiness. The Japanese noun '曇り (くもり)' refers to the state of the sky being cloudy or overcast. It is commonly used in weather forecasts and everyday conversation to describe a day when the sun is obscured by clouds. For example: Today is cloudy「今日は曇りです」(きょうはくもりです). The weather forecast says it will be cloudy tomorrow「天気予報では明日は曇りだそうです」(てんきよほうではあしたはくもりだそうです). This word can also metaphorically describe a gloomy or unclear situation, though this usage is less common.

    鈍感: insensitive. The Japanese adjectival noun '鈍感 (どんかん)' means 'insensitive'. It describes a person who is not easily affected by or aware of subtle changes, emotions, or situations. It can be used to describe someone who is emotionally or physically unresponsive. For example: he is insensitive to criticism「彼は批判に鈍感だ」(かれはひはんにどんかんだ). She is insensitive to cold「彼女は寒さに鈍感だ」(かのじょはさむさにどんかんだ). This word can also imply a lack of awareness or consideration for others' feelings, but it is not inherently negative and can sometimes be used humorously or neutrally.
