    自然: natural or nature. The Japanese adjectival noun '自然 (しぜん)' can mean both 'nature' and 'natural'. When used to mean 'nature', it refers to the physical world and its phenomena, such as plants, animals, landscapes, and natural processes. For example: I love nature「私は自然が大好きです」(わたしはしぜんがだいすきです). When used to mean 'natural', it describes something that occurs without human intervention or is inherent. For example: This food is natural「この食べ物は自然です」(このたべものはしぜんです). The word can also imply spontaneity or something being unforced, as in '自然な笑顔 (しぜんなえがお) (natural smile)'. It is important to note that the meaning depends on the context in which it is used.

    臭う: smell. The Japanese verb '臭う (におう)' means 'to smell'. This verb is used to describe the act of perceiving an odor, whether pleasant or unpleasant. It can be used in various contexts, such as describing the smell of food, flowers, or something unpleasant like garbage. For example: The flowers smell good「花がいいにおいがする」(はながいいにおいがする). This room smells bad「この部屋は臭う」(このへやはにおう). It's important to note that '臭う' often carries a connotation of an unpleasant smell, whereas '匂う (におう)' can be used for pleasant smells. However, '臭う' can also be used neutrally depending on the context.
