    Example Word

    存じる: know or exist. The Japanese verb '存じる (ぞんじる)' is a humble form of the verb '知る (しる)', meaning 'to know'. It is used in formal or polite contexts to show humility, often when referring to oneself. For example: I know that person「その方を存じています」(そのかたをぞんじています). Additionally, '存じる' can also mean 'to exist' in a very formal or archaic sense, though this usage is rare in modern Japanese. For example: The legend still exists「その伝説は今も存じる」(そのでんせつはいまもぞんじる). Note that the 'know' meaning is far more common in everyday usage.
