Example Word

幕府: shogunate. The Japanese noun '幕府 (ばくふ)' refers to the 'shogunate', which was the military government of Japan during the feudal period. The shogunate was headed by the shogun, the supreme military commander, and it was the de facto government of Japan from the 12th to the 19th century, while the emperor remained a symbolic figurehead. The term is often used in historical contexts to describe the political and military structure of feudal Japan. For example: The Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for over 250 years「徳川幕府は250年以上日本を支配した」(とくがわばくふはにひゃくごじゅうねんいじょうにほんをしはいした). The shogunate was abolished during the Meiji Restoration「幕府は明治維新の際に廃止された」(ばくふはめいじいしんのさいにはいしされた).

膜: membrane. The Japanese noun '膜 (まく)' refers to a thin, flexible layer of tissue or material that covers or separates parts of an organism or object. It is commonly used in both biological and technical contexts. For example: the cell membrane is important「細胞膜は重要です」(さいぼうまくはじゅうようです). The plastic wrap is a thin membrane「そのラップは薄い膜です」(そのラップはうすいまくです). In medical contexts, it can refer to membranes in the body, such as the mucous membrane '粘膜 (ねんまく)'. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe thin layers in non-biological contexts, such as films or coatings.
