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.

引き延ばす: stretch or prolong. The Japanese verb '引き延ばす (ひきのばす)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to prolong' or 'to extend' in terms of time or duration. For example: he prolonged the meeting「彼は会議を引き延ばした」(かれはかいぎをひきのばした). The second meaning is 'to stretch' or 'to elongate' in a physical sense. For example: she stretched the dough「彼女は生地を引き延ばした」(かのじょはきじをひきのばした). This verb is often used in contexts where something is being extended or stretched beyond its original state, whether in time or physical form.

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.
