顧客: customer. The Japanese noun '顧客 (こきゃく)' means 'customer'. It refers to a person or entity that purchases goods or services from a business. This term is commonly used in business and retail contexts to describe clients or patrons. For example: The store values its customers「その店は顧客を大切にしている」(そのみせはこきゃくをたいせつにしている). We need to attract more customers「もっと顧客を集める必要がある」(もっとこきゃくをあつめるひつようがある). The word is neutral in tone and can be used in both formal and informal settings.

脚: leg. The Japanese noun '脚 (あし)' primarily means 'leg'. It refers to the lower limb of the body, used for standing and walking. This word can be used to describe the legs of humans, animals, or even furniture. For example: my leg hurts「脚が痛い」(あしがいたい). The table has four legs「そのテーブルは脚が四本ある」(そのテーブルはあしがよんほんある). In some contexts, '脚' can also refer to the lower part of an object, such as the legs of a chair or table, but this is still closely related to the primary meaning of 'leg'.
