見逃す: miss or overlook. The Japanese verb '見逃す (みのがす)' can mean either 'to miss' or 'to overlook' depending on the context. When used to mean 'to miss', it refers to failing to see or notice something, often due to inattention or bad timing. For example: I missed the train「電車を見逃した」(でんしゃをみのがした). When used to mean 'to overlook', it refers to deliberately or accidentally ignoring or failing to take action on something. For example: The teacher overlooked the student's mistake「先生は生徒のミスを見逃した」(せんせいはせいとのミスをみのがした). This verb is often used in situations where something important or noteworthy is not properly noticed or addressed.

客観的: objective. The Japanese adjective '客観的 (きゃっかんてき)' means 'objective'. It is used to describe something that is based on facts, evidence, or observations rather than personal feelings, opinions, or interpretations. This term is often used in academic, scientific, or analytical contexts to emphasize neutrality and impartiality. For example: He gave an objective analysis of the situation「彼は状況を客観的に分析した」(かれはじょうきょうをきゃっかんてきにぶんせきした). It's important to maintain an objective perspective「客観的な視点を保つことが重要だ」(きゃっかんてきなしてんをたもつことがじゅうようだ). The adjective is commonly used to modify nouns, such as '客観的な事実 (きゃっかんてきなじじつ) (objective fact)'.

視線: gaze. The Japanese noun '視線 (しせん)' refers to the direction or focus of someone's eyes, often translated as 'gaze' or 'line of sight'. It is commonly used to describe where someone is looking or the act of looking at something. This word can also carry nuances of attention, scrutiny, or even judgment depending on the context. For example: Her gaze was fixed on the painting「彼女の視線はその絵に釘づけだった」(かのじょのしせんはそのえにくぎづけだった). I felt someone's gaze on me「誰かの視線を感じた」(だれかのしせんをかんじた). The word is often used in situations where the direction or intensity of looking is significant, such as in social interactions or artistic descriptions.
