Example Word

着: arrival. The Japanese noun '着 (き)' primarily means 'arrival'. It is used to indicate the act of arriving at a destination or the state of having arrived. This word is often used in contexts related to travel, schedules, or events. For example: the train's arrival is delayed「電車の着が遅れている」(でんしゃのきがおくれている). The package's arrival is scheduled for tomorrow「荷物の着は明日です」(にもつのきはあすです). It can also be used in compound words like '到着 (とうちゃく)' (arrival) or '発着 (はっちゃく)' (departure and arrival). Note that '着' can also refer to clothing in other contexts, but this meaning is unrelated and would be represented by a different reading (e.g., '着る (きる)' for 'to wear').

箸: chopsticks. The Japanese noun '箸 (はし)' refers to 'chopsticks', which are utensils used for eating, particularly in East Asian cultures. Chopsticks are typically made of wood, bamboo, metal, or plastic and are used to pick up food. Example sentences: Please pass the chopsticks「箸を取ってください」(はしをとってください). These chopsticks are easy to use「この箸は使いやすいです」(このはしはつかいやすいです). In Japanese culture, proper handling of chopsticks is considered important, and there are specific etiquette rules associated with their use.
