    出生: birth. The Japanese noun '出生 (しゅっしょう)' means 'birth'. It refers to the act or fact of being born, often used in formal or official contexts such as legal documents, medical records, or historical accounts. For example: The birth rate is declining「出生率が低下している」(しゅっしょうりつがていかしている). The date of birth is required「出生日が必要です」(しゅっしょうびがひつようです). This term is more formal than the casual word '誕生 (たんじょう)', which also means 'birth' but is used in broader contexts, including metaphorical ones.

    不動産屋: real estate agent. The Japanese noun '不動産屋 (ふどうさんや)' refers to a 'real estate agent' or 'real estate agency'. This term is used to describe a person or business that deals with the buying, selling, and renting of properties. It is commonly used in everyday conversations when discussing housing or property matters. For example: I went to the real estate agent to find a new apartment「新しいアパートを探しに不動産屋に行った」(あたらしいアパートをさがしにふどうさんやにいった). The real estate agent showed us several houses「不動産屋が私たちにいくつかの家を見せてくれた」(ふどうさんやがわたしたちにいくつかのいえをみせてくれた).
