    世帯: household. The Japanese noun '世帯 (せたい)' refers to a 'household', which is a group of people living together in a single dwelling unit, typically sharing resources and responsibilities. This term is often used in official contexts, such as census data, government forms, or social services. For example: The number of households in this city is increasing「この街の世帯数は増えている」(このまちのせたいすうはふえている). Our household consists of four people「私たちの世帯は四人です」(わたしたちのせたいはよにんです). The word can also be used to describe the economic or social unit of a household, such as in '世帯主 (せたいぬし)', meaning 'head of the household'.

    施す: apply or bestow. The Japanese verb '施す (ほどこす)' has two primary meanings. The first is 'to bestow' or 'to give', often used in the context of providing help, charity, or something beneficial to others. For example: He bestowed charity on the poor「彼は貧しい人々に施しをした」(かれはまずしいひとびとにほどこしをした). The second meaning is 'to apply' or 'to administer', such as applying a treatment or remedy. For example: The doctor applied a new treatment「医師は新しい治療を施した」(いしはあたらしいちりょうをほどこした). The verb carries a formal tone and is often used in contexts involving care, aid, or professional actions.
