    解する: understand. The Japanese verb '解する (かいする)' means 'to understand' or 'to comprehend'. It is often used in formal or literary contexts to describe the act of grasping the meaning or essence of something. This verb can be used for abstract concepts, ideas, or explanations. For example: I understand the meaning of this poem「この詩の意味を解する」(このしのいみをかいする). He couldn't comprehend the complex theory「彼はその複雑な理論を解することができなかった」(かれはそのふくざつなりろんをかいすることができなかった). Note that '解する' is more formal than the more commonly used '理解する (りかいする)'.

    触れる: touch. The Japanese verb '触れる (ふれる)' primarily means 'to touch' or 'to come into contact with'. It can be used both literally and figuratively. In its literal sense, it refers to physical contact, such as touching an object or surface. For example: Please do not touch the painting「絵に触れないでください」(えにふれないでください). In a figurative sense, it can mean to touch upon a topic or subject, as in: The speaker touched on an important issue「スピーカーは重要な問題に触れた」(スピーカーはじゅうようなもんだいにふれた). Additionally, '触れる' can also imply a brief or light touch, often suggesting a delicate or careful interaction. For example: The wind gently touched my face「風が私の顔に優しく触れた」(かぜがわたしのかおにやさしくふれた).
