    歩く: walk. The Japanese verb '歩く (あるく)' means 'to walk'. It is used to describe the action of moving on foot at a regular pace. This verb is commonly used in everyday conversation and can be applied to various contexts, such as walking to a destination, taking a stroll, or simply moving from one place to another on foot. For example: I walk to school every day「私は毎日学校に歩く」(わたしはまいにちがっこうであるく). Let's walk in the park「公園を歩きましょう」(こうえんであるきましょう). The verb can also be used metaphorically to describe progress or movement in a non-literal sense, such as 'walking through life'.

    店舗: shop or store. The Japanese noun '店舗 (てんぽ)' refers to a physical retail establishment, such as a store or shop. It is commonly used to describe a place where goods or services are sold to customers. This term is often used in business contexts, such as when discussing the number of stores a company operates or the location of a shop.
