HEY KI-d, are you all right? Calm down.

捜す is used when searching for people, or for something that is lost

whereas 探す is used when searching for things/items, or something that is desired, rather than lost.

探す vs 探る

探す is used when you don't know where something is and you try to find it, such as concrete objects, places, jobs, etc and has a nuance of searching with your eyes or asking for what you want.
Examples: 本棚から本を探す、仕事を探す、迷子を探す

探る is to feel something hidden with one's hands, or to try to see into the hidden truth or someone's heart, including abstract matters (truth, mind, trends), hidden places and has a nuance of examining carefully, investigating or feeling around.
Examples: 事件の真相を探る、敵の動向を探る、カバンの中を探る

When you saw gas (さがす) coming out of your stove, you called someone to *search* for the leak!

That SAGA is about SEARCHING for something long desired

さかる to go away/become distand さがす to search/find, so if something is さかる you have to さがす

The best place to search for something lost is the place where lost things end up: the Sargasso(さがす) Sea.

Come down/SAGArU here and help me search!

I am SEARCHING for a lost norse SAGA

series is a SAGA about the protagonist SUE's neverending search. they call her SAGA SUE 'cause they won't let the profitable stories end...

吐かす
Vulg. Slang:
to say, speak (spit out);

The BOW GUY (→ぼうがい), the one with the bow and arrows, will *interfere with/obstruct* the game by shooting at the players near the goal.

Formal version of だけ. Used more in writing, than in spoken language.

*only* they KNOW ME.

ばっかり (Baccardi) is something to drink (のみ). That's why they both mean nothing but.

Also written as: 已

As a practical example; 現金のみ means cash only and is not unusual at Japanese restaurants, perhaps particularly so in the countryside.
のみ is used extensively in formal spoken settings, just like in writing.

She lost (しろうと) to an amateur

The AMATEURS are given (しろ う）(to)ps to wear.

My husband knows nothing of life, so you could say he's an innocent 白（しろ）husband 夫 (おっと).

There are a few theories about the color-based meanings, where 白 = unskilled and 黒 = skilled.

1. Theatre / performers theory (Heian-era entertainers):
Low-skilled entertainers were called 白人 (しろひと) because they simply wore white makeup and had little real talent. In contrast, skilled entertainers were called 黒人 (くろひと).

2. Go (囲碁) theory:
This theory comes from the game of Go. In the past, stronger players were said to use the black pieces (黒石), while weaker players were said to use the white pieces (白石). From this, skilled players became linked to 黒人 (くろひと), and less skilled ones to 白人 (しろひと).

白人 (しろひと) → 素人 (しろうと)
黒人 (くろひと) → 玄人 (くろうと)

頭 (あたま) is the normal conversational word for "head". It's used in everyday speech and can also extend metaphorically (e.g. intelligence or the top/leader of something).

頭部 (とうぶ) is the anatomical, more formal term for the head, often used in medicine or accident reports (e.g. 頭部外傷).

頭脳 (ずのう) usually doesn't refer to the physical head at all. Instead, it means intellect or brainpower in an abstract or strategic sense (e.g. 頭脳明晰).

Rarely used by itself in spoken language. Use 隙間/すきま instead to avoid confusion with 好き.

Also written as: 罅

N + だらけ. Negative connotation

it's only (だけ) a mistake. However, since it's full of mistakes, add ら in the middle to signify it's more than one, like 彼ら
= だらけ

Ha! You call that a blade? You couldn't even cut butter with that!

I shouldn't have converted the ほ to ぼ!

ほね hone ✅ vs ぼね bone ❌

I never knew you could extract HONE (honey) from bones.

A feather はね with the O from bone ほね

Hone your bones by drinking milk, so they don't break when you do sports

In One piece, Luffy has G3 technique called - Hone Fūsen, literally meaning Bone Balloon.

骨 (ほね) — bone; everyday word, used in casual speech. Refers to individual bones rather than a whole skeleton.

骸骨 (がいこつ）) — skeleton; literally "dead body's bones". Mostly used for literal skeletons, monsters, or figurative comparisons. Rarely used in casual speech.

骨格 (こっかく) — skeleton structure / bone framework; refers to the arrangement of bones, used in scientific, anatomical, or formal contexts. Doesn't imply a corpse.

The word 堪える can be read as both たえる and こらえる. Generally, たえる is used in the sense of enduring or bearing a burden, while こらえる is used more in the context of restraining or holding back emotions.

我慢 is the most common everyday word for enduring discomfort, urges, or emotions
頑張る is extremely common for “keep trying” or “push through”
辛抱 means patiently putting up with hardship and feels very everyday too
耐える means “withstand / endure” and is common for pain, stress, or conditions
堪える is common for holding back laughter, tears, anger, etc. in the moment
踏ん張る is casual and means “hang tough” or “hold on a bit longer”
粘る means persist stubbornly and is common in sports, games, negotiation etc.
忍耐 is more formal and less common in casual conversation

I tire of enduring this.

You tie(taeru) more ropes to the weight and endure holding it up

I tire(taeru) of having to BEAR his workload all the time.

A tile たえる is built to endure every kind of rainfall.

はず is for a subjective expectation that something is going to happen given it's known tendencies and the way it is going.

べき implies that it is only right/just/correct for something to happen.

はず is used like a majority of "additives": neutral verb, -い and -な stay, and の after nouns.

つもり = intention / plan (speaker's will). Used when the subject has decided or plans to do something. It reflects personal intention.

はず = logical expectation (based on information or circumstances). Used when you expect something to be true based on reasons, evidence, or common sense — not intention.

そんなはずじゃなかった ← "That wasn't supposed to happen" — Reality didn't match what you expected.
そんなつもりじゃなかった ← "That wasn't my intention" / "I didn't mean for it to turn out this way" — The outcome wasn’t what you intended.

Note: つもり can refer to other people's intentions, but only as your interpretation (not a fact). It can also sound accusatory 何(なん)のつもりだ？ ("What are you trying to do?" / "What's your problem?")

That 'should' be a hazu-ard (hazard)

HAZU (has) it actually took place?

If it's on the Internet, it HAS （はず）to be true, right?

if it's expected it has/HAZU to happen

This key should be the right one for this lock. It has to (hazu) work, it's the only one left.

兄 → older brother
弟 → younger brother

If you're asked, 何人兄弟ですか, make sure to also include yourself. So if you have 1 brother and 1 sister, you should answer 3人です.

姉妹 is used for sisters/daughters exclusively. Brothers and sisters can be covered by 兄弟 or more formally 兄弟姉妹.

You may also see these terms pronounced as きょうだい:

兄妹 older brother and younger sister (けいまい)
姉弟 older sister and younger brother (してい)

姉妹 is used most often in the sense of "sister cities" or "sister ships", rather than for 姉ちゃん and 妹ちゃん.

Older ones (兄) should protect the younger ones (弟). That's what it means to be siblings.

I played D&D with my SIBLINGS TODAY (きょう) and rolled a DIE.

KO, you die! (きょうだい) is what I tell my brother after I beat him in smash bros.

When memorising the order of the kanji: The oldest always preceeds the youngest.

Is not limited to describing only brothers, can also include sisters, on contrary to the 姉妹 which describes only sisters

The most ordinary way to write きょうだい is 兄弟.

As you can see, it is formed from the kanji for "older brother" and "little brother," so the most literal meaning of this word is "brothers."
(The corresponding word for "sisters" is 姉妹, しまい.)
However, きょうだい is a very common word, and it is more often used to mean "siblings," without regard to gender. For example, one question you'll hear a lot when you first meet people is:
何人兄弟ですか。
You are (in a family with) how many brothers and sisters?
うちは三人兄弟です。
We are three siblings (altogether) = I have two siblings.

In speech, this is no big deal, but when writing out the characters, it can feel a little weird to use the characters for "big brother" and "little brother" to refer to a relationship that includes sisters.

Therefore, in novels, authors will sometimes substitute different characters that map to the exact relationship of the siblings in question, and force the reading きょうだい with furigana. For example, for a big brother-little sister relationship, they might write:
兄妹
(The word きょうだい written using alternative kanji to match the actual relationship)
Another strategy is simply to write the word in kana.

友達 is a general and common word to talk about friend.
友人 is a bit more formal.
親友 is use to talk about close or best friends.
知人 is use to talk about acquaintance.
仲間 is more focus on people who share a common goal or are member of the same community.
Finally, 友 is also a word to talk about friend but is not really use alone in every day conversation. It appear more often in compound word or classical/literacy context.

Can be used as a suffix (e.g. 仕事仲間, 飲み仲間) to describe a group.

Can be used to mean "crew". As in my crew.

My friends are in (Naka) MAi heart

NOW COME ON, let’s go to the park, FRIENDS.

きず focuses on visible surface damage like a cut or a scratch while けが is a serious injury

怪我 is the default word used in everyday speech. 負傷 is a more formal term. Both refer to anything from minor to serious injuries. The choice depends on context, not how bad the injury is.

As far as I can tell, regarding けが vs きず:

" 傷 is not very serious. For example,finger is cut by a paper." SImilarly, note kizu is used in parts of words to describe scars .

" けが is used to describe big physical wound. For example, in a car accident."
