Example Word

通訳: interpretation. The Japanese verbal noun '通訳 (つうやく)' refers to the act of interpreting, particularly spoken language, between two parties who do not share a common language. It is commonly used in contexts such as international conferences, business meetings, or any situation where real-time language translation is required. For example: She is good at interpretation「彼女は通訳が上手です」(かのじょはつうやくがじょうずです). We need an interpreter for the meeting「会議に通訳が必要です」(かいぎにつうやくがひつようです). The term is distinct from '翻訳 (ほんやく)', which refers to written translation.

Example Word

痛: pain. The Japanese suffix '痛 (つう)' is used to describe something related to pain or suffering. It is often attached to other words to form compound nouns that describe specific types of pain or painful conditions. For example: headache「頭痛」(ずつう), stomachache「腹痛」(ふくつう). This suffix is commonly used in medical contexts or when discussing physical discomfort. It can also be used metaphorically to describe emotional pain or distress, although this usage is less common. For example: heartache「心痛」(しんつう).
