    Example Word

    沈没: sinking. The Japanese verbal noun '沈没 (ちんぼつ)' means 'sinking'. It is used to describe the act of a ship, boat, or other vessel going underwater and becoming submerged. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the failure or collapse of plans, projects, or organizations. For example: The ship sank in the storm「船は嵐で沈没した」(ふねはあらしでちんぼつした). 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).
