What the sentence is about. Use these tags to find sentences by subject — food, travel, work, family, and more.

Grammatical structures and patterns in the sentence, like ~てから, ~たことがある, or the ~ば conditional. Find example sentences for any grammar point you're studying.

How the sentence is built — topic-comment structure, relative clauses, omitted subjects, particle stacking, and other structural patterns.

Notable word-level features — loanwords, archaic vocabulary, dialect, honorific language, rare readings, and other characteristics worth noticing.

Fixed expressions, four-character compounds (四字熟語), proverbs (ことわざ), and other set phrases whose meaning can't be guessed from the individual words.

Sound words (擬音語) and state words (擬態語) — expressive mimetics like ぐっすり, ぴかぴか, or ぶらぶら. Japanese is unusually rich in these.

Cultural context beyond language — customs, social norms, traditions, and references that help you understand what the sentence means, not just what it says.
