Example Word
取れる: come off. The Japanese verb '取れる (とれる)' means that something can be removed or comes off easily. It is often used to describe things like stains, labels, or parts of an object that can detach. For example: The label comes off easily 「ラベルが簡単に取れる」 (ラベルがかんたんにとれる). This stain won't come off 「この汚れは取れない」 (このよごれはとれない). It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as when referring to impressions or feelings being removed. For example: The tension finally came off 「緊張がやっと取れた」 (きんちょうがやっととれた). Note that '取れる' is the potential form of the verb '取る (とる)', which means 'to take' or 'to remove'.

又: again or also. The Japanese adverb '又 (また)' has two primary meanings: 'again' and 'also'. When used to mean 'again', it indicates repetition or recurrence of an action or event. For example: I will visit Japan again「また日本を訪れます」(またにほんをおとずれます). When used to mean 'also', it adds information or indicates an additional item or action. For example: He is also a teacher「彼はまた先生です」(かれはまたせんせいです). The nuance of 'また' can vary depending on context, but it generally conveys a sense of addition or repetition. It is commonly used in both casual and formal settings.

及び: and. The Japanese conjunction '及び (および)' is used to connect nouns or noun phrases, similar to the English word 'and'. It is a formal conjunction often used in written language, official documents, or formal speech. Unlike the more casual 'と', '及び' is used to list items in a more structured or hierarchical manner. For example: apples and oranges「りんご及びオレンジ」(りんごおよびオレンジ). The law applies to adults and children「この法律は大人及び子供に適用される」(このほうりつはおとなおよびこどもにてきようされる). Note that '及び' is not used to connect sentences or clauses, only nouns or noun phrases.
