    Example Word

    後輩: junior. The Japanese noun '後輩 (こうはい)' refers to someone who is junior to you, typically in a school, workplace, or organization. This term is often used to describe someone who joined after you or is younger in age or experience. It carries a sense of hierarchy and is commonly used in contexts where seniority matters. For example: My junior is very hardworking「私の後輩はとても頑張り屋です」(わたしのこうはいはとてもがんばりやです). I often help my juniors with their work「私はよく後輩の仕事を手伝います」(わたしはよくこうはいのしごとをてつだいます). The term is neutral and does not inherently imply a positive or negative relationship, but it emphasizes the hierarchical structure common in Japanese society.
