    Example Word

    入門: introduction. The Japanese noun '入門 (にゅうもん)' means 'introduction' or 'beginner's guide'. It is commonly used to refer to introductory materials, courses, or books that provide basic knowledge or skills in a particular subject. For example: This is a good introduction to Japanese「これは日本語の入門に良い」(これはにほんごのにゅうもんにいい). I bought a beginner's guide to programming「プログラミングの入門を買った」(ぷろぐらみんぐのにゅうもんをかった). The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the initial steps or entry into a new field or activity.
