    本音: true feelings. The Japanese noun '本音 (ほんね)' refers to a person's true feelings or real intentions, as opposed to what they might say or show outwardly. It is often used in contrast to '建前 (たてまえ)', which refers to the facade or socially acceptable stance one might present. For example: He finally revealed his true feelings「彼はついに本音を言った」(かれはついにほんねをいった). It's hard to tell her true feelings「彼女の本音はわかりにくい」(かのじょのほんねはわかりにくい). The concept of '本音' is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, where maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict often leads to a distinction between what is said and what is truly felt.

    響く: resonate. The Japanese verb '響く (ひびく)' means 'to resonate' or 'to reverberate'. It is used to describe sounds that echo or carry over a distance, or to describe something that has a profound impact or influence. For example: the sound of the bell resonates through the valley「鐘の音が谷に響く」(かねのおとがたににひびく). His words resonated deeply with me「彼の言葉が私に深く響いた」(かれのことばがわたしにふかくひびいた). This verb can also be used metaphorically to describe how actions or events have a lasting effect or influence on people or situations.
