Example Word

牛: cow or ox. The Japanese noun '牛 (うし)' refers to cattle, specifically cows or oxen. It is commonly used to describe the animal itself, whether in a domestic or wild context. The word can also be used metaphorically or in idiomatic expressions. For example: The cow is grazing in the field「牛が野原で草を食べている」(うしがのはらでくさをたべている). We saw an ox at the farm「農場で牛を見た」(のうじょうでうしをみた). The term can also appear in compound words, such as '牛肉 (ぎゅうにく)' meaning 'beef'.
