Example Word

生理: menstruation or physiology. The Japanese noun '生理 (せいり)' has two distinct meanings. The first and most common meaning is 'menstruation', referring to the monthly cycle in women. For example: She is on her period「彼女は生理中です」(かのじょはせいりちゅうです). The second meaning is 'physiology', referring to the biological functions and processes of living organisms. For example: The study of human physiology is fascinating「人間の生理の研究は興味深い」(にんげんのせいりのけんきゅうはきょうみぶかい). These two meanings are unrelated and should be understood in their respective contexts.
