Example Word
支給: provision. The Japanese noun '支給 (しきゅう)' refers to the act of providing or supplying something, often in an official or formal capacity. It is commonly used in contexts such as salary payments, benefits, or allowances provided by an organization or government. For example: The company provides a transportation allowance「会社は交通費を支給する」(かいしゃはこうつうひをしきゅうする). The government provides subsidies to farmers「政府は農家に補助金を支給する」(せいふはのうかにほじょきんをしきゅうする). The word emphasizes the formal or systematic nature of the provision, distinguishing it from casual or informal giving.
