Example Word

着る: wear. The Japanese verb '着る (きる)' means 'to wear' and is specifically used for clothing that covers the upper body, such as shirts, jackets, or dresses. It is not used for accessories, footwear, or lower-body clothing like pants or skirts. For example: I wear a coat「コートを着る」(コートをきる). She is wearing a beautiful dress「彼女はきれいなドレスを着ている」(かのじょはきれいなドレスをきている). The verb is often paired with the particle 'を' to indicate the object being worn. Note that '着る' is a ru-verb and conjugates accordingly.
