小学校: elementary. The Japanese noun '小学校 (しょうがっこう)' refers to an 'elementary school', which is the first stage of compulsory education in Japan, typically for children aged 6 to 12. It is the institution where children receive their primary education. For example: My child goes to elementary school「私の子供は小学校に行きます」(わたしのこどもはしょうがっこうにいきます). The elementary school is near the park「小学校は公園の近くです」(しょうがっこうはこうえんのちかくです). This term is commonly used in everyday conversation when discussing education or children's activities.

Example Word
減少: decrease. The Japanese verbal noun '減少 (げんしょう)' means 'decrease'. It refers to a reduction in quantity, size, or intensity of something. This word is often used in formal or technical contexts, such as economics, population studies, or scientific reports. For example: the population decrease is concerning「人口の減少が心配だ」(じんこうのげんしょうがしんぱいだ). The decrease in sales was significant「売上の減少は大きかった」(うりあげのげんしょうはおおきかった). Note that '減少' is typically used as a noun but can also function as a verbal noun in sentences like '減少する (to decrease)'.
