Example Word
冷める: cool. The Japanese verb '冷める (さめる)' means 'to cool down' or 'to lose heat'. It is commonly used to describe something that was hot or warm but has now cooled to a lower temperature. This verb can be used for both physical objects, like food or drinks, and abstract concepts, like emotions or enthusiasm. For example: the soup has cooled down「スープが冷めた」(スープがさめた). Her enthusiasm for the project cooled「彼女のプロジェクトへの熱意が冷めた」(かのじょのプロジェクトへのねついがさめた). Note that '冷める' is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take a direct object. The transitive counterpart is '冷ます (さます)', which means 'to cool something down'.
