    要する: require or summarize. The Japanese verb '要する (ようする)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to require' or 'to need', often used to indicate necessity. For example: This task requires patience「この仕事は忍耐を要する」(このしごとはにんたいをようする). The second meaning is 'to summarize' or 'to conclude', used when condensing information into a concise form. For example: To summarize, we need more time「要するにもっと時間が必要だ」(ようするにもっとじかんがひつようだ). The verb is formal and often used in written or professional contexts.

    東西: east and west. The Japanese noun '東西 (とうざい)' refers to the concept of 'east and west', often used to describe direction, orientation, or geographical location. It can also metaphorically represent contrasting ideas, cultures, or traditions from the East and West. For example: The train runs east-west「電車は東西に走る」(でんしゃはとうざいにはしる). The cultural exchange between East and West is important「東西の文化交流は重要だ」(とうざいのぶんかこうりゅうはじゅうようだ). This word is commonly used in contexts involving geography, travel, or cultural comparisons.

    覆う: cover. The Japanese verb '覆う (おおう)' means 'to cover'. It is used to describe the action of placing something over or around an object, area, or surface to conceal, protect, or enclose it. This verb can be used in both literal and figurative contexts. For example: The snow covered the ground「雪が地面を覆った」(ゆきがじめんをおおった). She covered her face with her hands「彼女は手で顔を覆った」(かのじょはてでかおをおおった). In a figurative sense, it can also describe situations where something is hidden or obscured, such as 'The truth was covered by lies'「真実は嘘に覆われていた」(しんじつはうそにおおわれていた).
