Example Word
関節: joint. The Japanese noun '関節 (かんせつ)' refers to a 'joint' in the body, where two bones meet and allow movement. It is commonly used in medical or anatomical contexts. For example: My knee joint hurts「私の膝の関節が痛い」(わたしのひざのかんせつがいたい). The doctor examined his shoulder joint「医者は彼の肩の関節を診た」(いしゃはかれのかたのかんせつをみた). This term is specific to the anatomical structure and should not be confused with other uses of the word 'joint' in English, such as a place or a connection between objects.
