Example Word

建て: built. The Japanese suffix '建て (だて)' is used to indicate the way something is built or constructed. It is often attached to nouns to describe the type of construction or the material used in building something. For example: a wooden house「木造建ての家」(もくぞうだてのいえ). This building is steel-framed「この建物は鉄骨建てです」(このたてものはてっこつだてです). The suffix can also be used to specify the number of floors in a building, such as in 'three-story building'「三階建ての建物」(さんかいだてのたてもの). It is a versatile suffix that provides specific information about the construction or structure of an object or building.

Example Word

延長: extension or prolongation. The Japanese verbal noun '延長 (えんちょう)' primarily means 'extension' or 'prolongation'. It is used to describe the act of extending something in time, space, or scope. For example, it can refer to extending a deadline, prolonging a meeting, or even extending a physical object like a cable. Example sentences: The meeting was extended「会議が延長された」(かいぎがえんちょうされた). The deadline has been extended「締め切りが延長された」(しめきりがえんちょうされた). The cable is too short, we need an extension「ケーブルが短すぎる、延長が必要だ」(ケーブルがみじかすぎる、えんちょうがひつようだ).

Example Word

朝廷: court. The Japanese noun '朝廷 (ちょうてい)' refers to the imperial court or the government under the emperor in historical contexts. It specifically denotes the central administrative and ceremonial institution of the Japanese monarchy, particularly during the Heian period and earlier. This term is often used in historical or literary contexts to describe the political and social center of ancient Japan. For example: The emperor held power at the court「天皇は朝廷で権力を握っていた」(てんのうはちょうていでけんりょくをにぎっていた). The court was the center of politics「朝廷は政治の中心だった」(ちょうていはせいじのちゅうしんだった). Note that this term is archaic and not commonly used in modern contexts.
