    音読み: on reading. The Japanese verbal noun '音読み (おんよみ)' refers to the 'on-reading' or Chinese-derived reading of a kanji character. This reading is typically used in compound words and is derived from the original Chinese pronunciation of the character. For example: the on-reading of 水 is すい「水の音読みはすいです」(みずのおんよみはすいです). The on-reading of 山 is さん「山の音読みはさんです」(やまのおんよみはさんです). It's important to note that many kanji have multiple on-readings depending on the context in which they are used.

    独り言: soliloquy. The Japanese noun '独り言 (ひとりごと)' refers to the act of talking to oneself, often referred to as a soliloquy or monologue. This can occur when someone is thinking aloud, expressing their thoughts without expecting a response. It is commonly used in both casual and literary contexts. For example: He was muttering to himself「彼は独り言を言っていた」(かれはひとりごとをいっていた). She often talks to herself when she's alone「彼女は一人の時によく独り言を言う」(かのじょはひとりのときによくひとりごとをいう). The term can also imply a sense of loneliness or deep contemplation, depending on the context.

    有毒: poisonous. The Japanese adjectival noun '有毒 (ゆうどく)' means 'poisonous' or 'toxic'. It is used to describe substances, plants, animals, or other entities that contain or produce poison. This term is often used in scientific, medical, or environmental contexts. For example: that mushroom is poisonous「そのキノコは有毒です」(そのきのこはゆうどくです). The chemical is toxic to humans「その化学物質は人間にとって有毒です」(そのかがくぶっしつはにんげんにとってゆうどくです). Note that '有毒' is often used in formal or technical contexts, and it can also imply danger or harm beyond just physical toxicity.
