    大声: loud voice. The Japanese noun '大声 (おおごえ)' means 'loud voice'. It refers to a voice that is raised or projected at a high volume, often used to get attention or express strong emotions. This word is commonly used in situations where someone is shouting or speaking loudly. For example: he shouted in a loud voice「彼は大声で叫んだ」(かれはおおごえでさけんだ). Please don't speak in a loud voice here「ここでは大声で話さないでください」(ここではおおごえではなさないでください). The word can also imply a sense of urgency or intensity, depending on the context.

    武士: samurai. The Japanese noun '武士 (ぶし)' refers to a 'samurai', a member of the warrior class in feudal Japan. Samurai were known for their strict adherence to the code of bushido, which emphasized honor, discipline, and loyalty. They were skilled in martial arts and often served as retainers to daimyo (feudal lords). Example sentences: The samurai was very brave「武士はとても勇敢だった」(ぶしはとてもゆうかんだった). The samurai carried a sword「武士は刀を持っていた」(ぶしはかたなをもっていた). The term can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who embodies the qualities of a samurai, such as bravery and honor.

    売り: sale. The Japanese suffix '売り (うり)' means 'sale' and is used to indicate the act of selling or something being sold. It is often attached to nouns to describe the type of sale or the item being sold. For example: book sale「本売り」(ほんうり). This suffix is commonly used in commercial contexts and can be found in words like '魚売り (さかなうり)' (fish seller) or '野菜売り (やさいうり)' (vegetable seller). It is important to note that '売り' can also imply the act of selling as a profession or trade. For instance: He is a fruit seller「彼は果物売りです」(かれはくだものうりです). The store specializes in flower sales「その店は花売りを専門にしています」(そのみせははなうりをせんもんにしています).
