    以内: within. The Japanese noun '以内 (いない)' means 'within' and is used to indicate a limit or boundary in terms of time, distance, or quantity. It is often used to specify that something must be done or occur within a certain period or range. For example: Please submit the report within three days「レポートを三日以内に提出してください」(レポートをみっかいにないにていしゅつしてください). The hotel is within 5 kilometers from here「ホテルはここから5キロ以内です」(ホテルはここから5キロいないです). This word is commonly used in formal and everyday contexts to set clear limits or expectations.

    円高: yen strength. The Japanese noun '円高 (えんだか)' refers to a situation where the value of the Japanese yen is strong or high relative to other currencies. This term is commonly used in economic and financial contexts to describe the yen's exchange rate. For example: The yen's strength is affecting exports「円高が輸出に影響を与えている」(えんだかがゆしゅつにえいきょうをあたえている). Due to the strong yen, traveling abroad has become cheaper「円高のため、海外旅行が安くなった」(えんだかのため、かいがいりょこうがやすくなった). It's important to note that '円高' is often discussed in relation to its opposite, '円安 (えんやす)', which means a weak yen.

    再来週: week after next. The Japanese noun '再来週 (さらいしゅう)' refers to 'the week after next'. It is used to indicate a time two weeks from the current week. This term is commonly used in scheduling, planning, or discussing future events. For example: I will visit my grandparents the week after next「再来週に祖父母を訪ねます」(さらいしゅうにそふぼをおとずれます).

Note that '再来週' is a specific time expression and should not be confused with '来週 (らいしゅう)', which means 'next week'.
