    原子: atom. The Japanese noun '原子 (げんし)' refers to an 'atom', the basic unit of matter in chemistry and physics. This term is used in scientific contexts to describe the smallest unit of a chemical element that retains its properties. For example: Atoms are the building blocks of matter「原子は物質の基本単位です」(げんしはぶっしつのきほんたんいです). The nucleus is at the center of the atom「原子核は原子の中心にあります」(げんしかくはげんしのちゅうしんにあります). The word is commonly used in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering.

    厳重: strict. The Japanese adjective '厳重 (げんじゅう)' means 'strict' or 'severe'. It is often used to describe something that is very carefully controlled, tightly secured, or strictly enforced. This word can be applied to security measures, rules, or even warnings. For example: strict security measures were taken「厳重な警備が取られた」(げんじゅうなけいびがとられた). The teacher gave a strict warning「先生は厳重に注意した」(せんせいはげんじゅうにちゅういした). It can also imply a sense of seriousness or gravity in a situation, such as in '厳重な処置 (げんじゅうなしょち) (strict measures)'.

    Example Word

    厚い: thick or kind. The Japanese adjective '厚い (あつい)' has two primary meanings. The first meaning is 'thick', referring to the physical thickness of an object, such as a book or a piece of clothing. For example: this book is thick「この本は厚い」(このほんはあつい). The second meaning is 'kind' or 'deep', often used to describe someone's kindness or the depth of a relationship. For example: he is very kind「彼はとても厚い人だ」(かれはとてもあついひとだ). It's important to note that the context in which '厚い' is used will determine whether it refers to physical thickness or emotional depth.
