    認知: recognition or cognition. The Japanese noun '認知 (にんち)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'recognition', which refers to the acknowledgment or acceptance of something as true or valid. For example: The government's recognition of the new policy was swift「政府の新しい政策に対する認知は迅速だった」(せいふのあたらしいせいさくにたいするにんちはじんそくだった). The second meaning is 'cognition', which refers to the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding. For example: Cognitive abilities decline with age「認知能力は年齢とともに低下する」(にんちのうりょくはねんれいとともにていかする). It's important to note that '認知' is often used in formal or academic contexts, and the specific meaning can usually be inferred from the context in which it is used.

    無理矢理: forcibly. The Japanese adverb '無理矢理 (むりやり)' means 'forcibly' or 'against one's will'. It is used to describe actions that are done by force, compulsion, or without considering the other person's wishes. This word often carries a negative connotation, implying that the action is unreasonable or excessive. For example: He forcibly took my bag「彼は無理矢理私のバッグを取った」(かれはむりやりわたしのバッグをとった). She made me eat the food forcibly「彼女は無理矢理私にその食べ物を食べさせた」(かのじょはむりやりわたしにそのたべものをたべさせた). The word can also imply a sense of desperation or urgency in the action.

    短期: short term. The Japanese noun '短期 (たんき)' refers to a 'short-term' period or duration. It is commonly used in contexts such as finance, education, and employment to describe something that lasts for a brief period. For example: short-term loan「短期ローン」(たんきローン). He is on a short-term contract「彼は短期契約です」(かれはたんきけいやくです). The word emphasizes brevity and is often contrasted with '長期 (ちょうき)' which means 'long-term'.
