    果物: fruit. The Japanese noun '果物 (くだもの)' means 'fruit'. It refers to the edible, sweet, and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seeds. This term is commonly used in everyday conversation when talking about fruits in general, such as in a grocery store or when discussing a healthy diet. For example: I bought some fruit at the market「市場で果物を買いました」(いちばでくだものをかいました). Fruits are rich in vitamins「果物はビタミンが豊富です」(くだものはビタミンがほうふです). It is important to note that '果物' typically refers to fresh fruits, as opposed to dried or processed fruits.

The company's project sank due to lack of funding「会社のプロジェクトは資金不足で沈没した」(かいしゃのプロジェクトはしきんぶそくでちんぼつした).
