    食物: food. The Japanese noun '食物 (しょくもつ)' means 'food'. This term is used to refer to any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is a more formal or general term compared to everyday words like '食べ物 (たべもの)'. For example: This food is nutritious「この食物は栄養がある」(このしょくもつはえいようがある). We need to store food for the winter「冬のために食物を貯蔵する必要がある」(ふゆのためにしょくもつをちょぞうするひつようがある). The word '食物' is often used in contexts such as nutrition, science, or formal discussions about food.

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).
