    黒字: profit. The Japanese noun '黒字 (くろじ)' means 'profit'. It is used in financial contexts to indicate that a company or organization is making a profit, as opposed to being in the red (赤字, あかじ). The term originates from the practice of using black ink to denote positive numbers in accounting. For example: The company is in the black「その会社は黒字です」(そのかいしゃはくろじです). This year we made a profit「今年は黒字でした」(ことしはくろじでした).

    Example Word

    沈黙: silence. The Japanese noun '沈黙 (ちんもく)' means 'silence'. It refers to the absence of speech or sound, often implying a deliberate or meaningful quietness. This word can be used in various contexts, such as during a moment of reflection, in a tense situation, or to describe someone who is not speaking. For example: The silence was unbearable「沈黙が耐えられなかった」(ちんもくがたえられなかった). He broke the silence with his voice「彼は声で沈黙を破った」(かれはこえでちんもくをやぶった). '沈黙' can also carry a deeper connotation, such as in the phrase '沈黙は金' (ちんもくはきん), which translates to 'silence is golden', emphasizing the value of staying quiet in certain situations.
