    Example Word

    骨: bone. The Japanese noun '骨 (ほね)' primarily means 'bone'. It refers to the hard, rigid structures that form the skeleton of vertebrates. This word is commonly used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. For example: I broke my bone「骨を折った」(ほねをおった). This work is the backbone of the project「この仕事はプロジェクトの骨だ」(このしごとはプロジェクトのほねだ). In metaphorical usage, it can imply the core or essential part of something, as in the second example. The word is straightforward and widely used in everyday conversation as well as in medical or scientific contexts.
