    牛乳: milk. The Japanese noun '牛乳 (ぎゅうにゅう)' refers specifically to cow's milk. It is commonly used in everyday contexts, such as when buying milk at the store or drinking it. For example: I drink milk every morning「毎朝牛乳を飲みます」(まいあさぎゅうにゅうをのみます). This milk is delicious「この牛乳は美味しいです」(このぎゅうにゅうはおいしいです). It is important to note that '牛乳' specifically refers to cow's milk and not other types of milk, such as soy milk or almond milk, which have different names in Japanese.

    乞食: beggar. The Japanese noun '乞食 (こじき)' refers to a 'beggar', someone who asks for money or food as charity. This term is often used in historical or literary contexts and can carry a somewhat archaic or harsh tone. It is important to note that this word is not commonly used in modern, polite conversation, as it may be considered derogatory.

    亀: turtle or tortoise. The Japanese noun '亀 (かめ)' refers to a turtle or tortoise. It is used to describe the reptile known for its hard shell and slow movement. In Japanese culture, turtles are often associated with longevity and good fortune. For example: I saw a turtle at the zoo「動物園で亀を見た」(どうぶつえんでかめをみた). The tortoise is walking slowly「亀がゆっくり歩いている」(かめがゆっくりあるいている). Note that while 'turtle' and 'tortoise' are distinct in English, '亀' can refer to both in Japanese, with context often clarifying the specific type.

    乙: second or unique. The Japanese noun '乙 (おつ)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'second', as in the second of ten heavenly stems used in the traditional Japanese calendar system. For example: today is the second day of the cycle「今日は乙の日です」(きょうはおつのひです). The second meaning is 'unique' or 'unconventional', often used to describe something quirky or distinctive. For example: that artist has a unique style「あのアーティストは乙なスタイルだ」(あのアーティストはおつなスタイルだ). This second usage is more colloquial and can sometimes carry a slightly humorous or ironic tone.
