    Example Word

    罰: punishment. The Japanese noun '罰 (ばつ)' means 'punishment'. It refers to a penalty or consequence imposed for wrongdoing or breaking rules. This word is often used in legal, moral, or religious contexts. For example: he received punishment for his crime「彼は罪に対して罰を受けた」(かれはつみにたいしてばつをうけた). In Buddhism, bad actions lead to punishment「仏教では悪い行いには罰がある」(ぶっきょうではわるいおこないにはばつがある). The word can also imply divine retribution or karma in certain contexts.
