    Example Word

    移る: move or transfer. The Japanese verb '移る (うつる)' can mean 'to move' or 'to transfer', depending on the context. When used to mean 'to move', it often refers to physically relocating from one place to another, such as moving to a new house or city. For example: I will move to Tokyo next month「来月東京に移ります」(らいげつとうきょうにうつります). When used to mean 'to transfer', it can refer to the movement of something abstract, such as emotions, diseases, or responsibilities. For example: The cold transferred to my brother「風邪が弟に移った」(かぜがおとうとうにうつった). It's important to note that this verb is often used with the particle に (ni) to indicate the destination or target of the movement or transfer.
