    行動: action. The Japanese verbal noun '行動 (こうどう)' means 'action' or 'behavior'. It refers to the act of doing something or the way someone behaves in a particular situation. This word is often used in contexts involving decision-making, movement, or conduct. For example: His actions speak louder than words「彼の行動は言葉よりも雄弁だ」(かれのこうどうはことばよりもゆうべんだ). We need to take action immediately「私たちはすぐに行動を起こす必要がある」(わたしたちはすぐにこうどうをおこすひつようがある). The word can also be used in compound forms, such as '行動力 (こうどうりょく)' (ability to take action) or '行動範囲 (こうどうはんい)' (range of action).
