    Example Word

    農民: farmer. The Japanese noun '農民 (のうみん)' refers to a 'farmer' or 'peasant', specifically someone who works in agriculture, cultivating crops or raising livestock. This term often carries a historical or traditional connotation, particularly in the context of pre-modern Japan, where farmers were a significant part of the population and played a crucial role in the economy. In modern usage, it can still refer to farmers but may also evoke images of rural life or traditional farming practices. Example sentences: The farmer works in the fields「農民は畑で働く」(のうみんははたけではたらく). Many farmers live in this village「この村には多くの農民が住んでいる」(このむらにはおおくののうみんがすんでいる).
