    引き起こす: cause or trigger. The Japanese verb '引き起こす (ひきおこす)' means 'to cause' or 'to trigger'. It is used to describe the act of bringing about a situation, event, or condition, often with a focus on the consequences. This verb can be used in both positive and negative contexts, but it is more commonly associated with negative outcomes. For example: The heavy rain caused a flood「大雨が洪水を引き起こした」(おおあめがこうずいをひきおこした). His careless remark triggered an argument「彼の不用意な発言が議論を引き起こした」(かれのふよういなはつげんがぎろんをひきおこした). It is important to note that '引き起こす' often implies a direct or significant impact, making it suitable for serious or notable events.

    飲み込む: swallow or comprehend. The Japanese verb '飲み込む (のみこむ)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to swallow', referring to the physical act of consuming food or drink. For example: he swallowed the pill「彼は薬を飲み込んだ」(かれはくすりをのみこんだ). The second meaning is 'to comprehend' or 'to grasp', often used metaphorically to describe understanding something fully. For example: she quickly comprehended the situation「彼女はすぐに状況を飲み込んだ」(かのじょはすぐにじょうきょうをのみこんだ). The verb can be used in both literal and figurative contexts, making it versatile in everyday conversation.

    寺院: temple. The Japanese noun '寺院 (じいん)' refers to a 'temple', specifically a Buddhist temple. This term is used to describe a place of worship and practice for Buddhists, often characterized by its architecture, statues, and religious activities. For example: I visited a famous temple「有名な寺院を訪れました」(ゆうめいなじいんをおとずれました). The temple is very old「その寺院はとても古いです」(そのじいんはとてもふるいです). It's important to note that '寺院' is distinct from '神社 (じんじゃ)', which refers to Shinto shrines.

    隠れる: hide. The Japanese verb '隠れる (かくれる)' means 'to hide'. It is used to describe the action of concealing oneself or something from view. This verb can be used in various contexts, such as physically hiding, being hidden by something, or even metaphorically hiding emotions or intentions. For example: The child hid behind the tree「子供は木の後ろに隠れた」(こどもはきのうしろにかくれた). The sun is hidden behind the clouds「太陽は雲の後ろに隠れている」(たいようはくものうしろにかくれている). It is important to note that '隠れる' often implies that the subject is hidden by something else, rather than actively hiding themselves.
