    維新: restoration. The Japanese noun '維新 (いしん)' refers to a significant political or social reform, often implying a restoration or renewal of a system. It is most famously associated with the 'Meiji Restoration' (明治維新, めいじいしん), a period in Japanese history (1868) when the feudal system was abolished, and modernization began. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe any major reform or renewal. Example sentences: The Meiji Restoration changed Japan「明治維新は日本を変えた」(めいじいしんはにほんをかえた). The company underwent a major restoration「その会社は大きな維新を経験した」(そのかいしゃはおおきないしんをけいけんした).

    決断: decision. The Japanese noun '決断 (けつだん)' means 'decision'. It refers to the act of making a firm and resolute choice, often after careful consideration. This word is commonly used in contexts where a significant or impactful choice is made. For example: He made a quick decision「彼は早い決断をした」(かれははやいけつだんをした). Making a decision is important「決断を下すことは重要だ」(けつだんをくだすことはじゅうようだ). The word carries a nuance of determination and finality, often implying that the decision is not easily reversible.
