    Example Word

    爪切り: nail clipper. The Japanese noun '爪切り (つめきり)' refers to a 'nail clipper', a tool used for trimming fingernails or toenails. It is a compound word combining '爪 (つめ)' meaning 'nail' and '切り (きり)' meaning 'cutter'. This word is commonly used in everyday contexts related to personal grooming. For example: I bought a new nail clipper「新しい爪切りを買いました」(あたらしいつめきりをかいました). Please lend me your nail clipper「爪切りを貸してください」(つめきりをかしてください). The tool is essential for maintaining hygiene and is found in most households.
