観る is usually used as "to watch" (i.e: 映画を観る)

見る (見) – "to see / look at / watch"
The neutral, everyday verb. Used in most situations: seeing something, watching TV, checking something, meeting someone, etc.
Note: This is the default way it's written in almost all cases.

観る (観) – "to watch (as an experience)"
Used when watching something you appreciate or take in intentionally, like films, theatre, concerts, or sports.
Note: In everyday writing, people still usually write 見る, unless they want to be precise.

視る (視) – "to observe / examine"
More formal and analytical. Implies carefully examining or viewing something from a technical or objective perspective.
Note: Rare on its own in daily life, but common in compounds like 視点, 視覚, 視野.

見る - to see, to watch, to look at

見える - to be seen - because えveryone can see (見る) you

見せる - to show or display せomething; to make せomeone see (見る) せomething.

The extra letters can help you remember what aspect of "seeing" it means

I can see I can see I can see you in the Miru (mirror)

If you know Spanish:
mirar = to look / watch
みる (miru) - to look / watch / see
Pretty similar.

The doctor has to SEE (見る / みる) you in order to EXAMINE (診る / みる) you.

I think of 'admire'.
See -> Admire -> Ad *mir* e -> Miru

Visit the ill* 🛌 見舞う み/まう
I come to SEE you 見る not to EXAMINE 🧑‍⚕️ 診る you, why open your mouth👄 (まう)?

Visit a person* 🧒 訪ねる た/ずね\る
My TAsk (た) is NOT (ず) to ASK 尋ねる if I could SLEEP 🛏️ ( ね) here.

Visit a place* 🎢 訪れる お/とずれ\る
There is too much NOISE ( 音 おと) here. I could NOT (ず) hear you, please REpeat (れ) 🦻 .

It sounds similar to "mirror" and you "look" (to see) into a mirror

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...

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.

I went on a great SAGA to find the papers I needed to SUe him

SAL GOT SUUS a new ring, but she lost it in the gym, now she's frantically searching for it.

遅れる　is more general.

Use 「遅刻」 only when you are late to a specific time, appointment, etc.

[forum.wordreference.com]

The difference between 遅刻する, 遅れる and 遅くなる:

遅刻する and 遅れる is very similar. They're used when you are late for a specific time, appoint, schedule etc.

遅くなる combines the adjective 遅い and なる = to become late. It's used more in general and about unscheduled things. For example if you are coming home later than expected or if you usually go to the gym around 10AM but one day you go to the gym at 11AM.

Event に 遅れる→To be late for an event
Eg: 授業に遅れてはいけません
→You cannot be late for class.

Did it OCCURE to YOU that if you're late you could at least text that you can't make it?

My wife {おく} rarely {れる} is late to appointments.

The train being delayed OCCUrs RARely.

Oh cool/OKU, you're late again.

OH! Someone randomly GAVE (くれる) me some money! I was so surprised I forgot what I was doing and WAS LATE for work!

I was late 遅れる to send 送る a package to my friend

遅い(おそい) - slow, late
遅れる(おくれる) - to be late / delayed

Oh sorry (おそい) I’m late.
Oh cool we’re (おくれる) being late again.

If you are late, people will get angry (怒る/おこる).

"To give (a pet) food" is traditionally 餌をやる. However, as attitudes around pet companionship change, 餌をあげる is widely accepted. In situations where one is uncomfortable using 餌をやる but where 餌をあげる isn't accepted, 餌を与える may be used instead. [www.nhk.or.jp]

Do Yaru (you) know what to do?

YOU DO {やる} what you have TO DO.

I have *𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼* the "yard work"「YARU やる」.

"Yeah Ru! (Yaru) You can *do it*!"

Y'all rue the day you undertook this foolish endeavor!

"YA RULE!" to the circus performer doing/performing stuff

やる is "to do", it's similiar to する, but unlike する you can use it only for physical activities you do voluntarily with a certain amount of time and effort. It's also used in context where the recipient is an inferior. (Ex: お前にこれをやる。= this is for you. - a superior to an inferior ). When in doubt use する since it's less harsh, but the only exception is "to give" as in 餌をやる (to give (a pet) food). In that case, する isn't used.

WHEN LUCKu (ren-raku) runs out, you need to contact a friend for help.

所 refers to a general place (also metaphorical/abstract), and is used in compounds such as 場所, which indicates a physical, literal place.
Other possible ambiguities: 位置 which means a place on a map or a position, and 余地, margins or scope.

ばしょ sounds like "bar shop," which is an example of a place.

You just came back from seeing a "bad show" at a certain venue or location.

Basho (poet) traveled to many places.

I just got my badsho (badge) at the new location

Where is your location? I'm at the bus, yo! (ばしょ)

The wrestlers will bash yo (Basho) head in at the "place" where they wrestle.

I took a bus to go to the BA(d)SHO(w) on the other side of town!

Megumi Fushigoro's bansho takes a lot of space (basho)!

Example: 今度の週末: the upcoming weekend.

This time I will buy a condo. And next time..I'll also buy a condo! I love condos!

Image KONDOrs(aka vultures) circling above in the heat of the desert.
This time... You have little time left

My kondo-lences for your loss. It is completely understandable that you lost the match this time when you have the tragedy of losing a player hanging over the team. At least with how well you were doing recently, I'm pretty sure, you'll beat us next time.

KONDO (gintama) says you caught him this time, but he'll try again next time. recently, lately otae (gintama) has been spending more time on more deadly traps...

The Schrodinger's cat of temporal terms; it can mean recent past, the present, or future. And it can mean all of those at different points in the same conversation. Like so many things in Japanese, you very much have to pay attention to context to interpret it correctly.

I generally use 回 to be explicit, as in 前回、 今回、 次回 . The several Japanese I've spoken to about 今度　have never noticed how ambiguous and contradictory it is until I've mentioned it.

ずいぶん is a noun that literally means "sufficient". As a noun, it can be used either adjectivally or as an adverb (even though it doesn't end withり).

E.g. ずいぶん上手だね = lit. "you're sufficiently skillful" = "you're very skillful".

Especially used as an adverb with the first meaning.

非常に（ひじょうに） extremely / highly. Formal, objective, and common in writing, news, business, and academic contexts.
随分（ずいぶん） quite / considerably / rather. Often implies a difference from expectation or a noticeable degree. Frequently carries a sense of "more than I would have thought."
とても very. The standard, neutral word for expressing a high degree. Natural in both speech and writing.
すごく very / really. More conversational and expressive than とても. Often conveys the speaker's feelings more strongly.
めっちゃ really / super. Casual slang. Much less formal than the others and common in everyday speech, especially among younger speakers.

Formality: 非常に > とても > すごく > めっちゃ

I wanted to eat something savory but surprisingly this is a very zui (sweet) bun

"Zui Bunnisky found a very enormous, unbelievably gigantic bun, quite astonishingly, to be used in extreme activities!" don't commit suicide (すい) Zui Bunnisky! That is terrible!

Zoo (ずい) bunnies (ぶん) reproduce very quickly. Quite the extreme culture, those zoo bunnies have.

Often used as an adverb meaning "directly".

If you choke ちょく someone needs to set せつ their arms directly around your waist and give you the heimlich maneuver

If you can (straight away) 直 (touch) 接 it, it must be directly, immediately in front of you

The choku setsu (shock sets) in immediatly, directly after having an accident or a traumatic event

The choke setup ちょくせつ is fairly simple: you have to be in direct contact 接 with the victim, otherwise you won't be able to reach the neck!

Contrast with いつまでも (forever), which denotes a continuation over time. いつでも (anytime), however, doesn't imply duration; just a lack of restriction on time.

Whenever vs いつも "always"

IT'S A DEMO you can play ANYTIME :D

You may hear this upon entering a restaurant when being directed to sit, as in "anywhere is fine".

も can mean "even" or "as much as". The で in だれでも is a contraction of the copula "です", which couples the preceding noun with a hidden "__が" (it) followed by the particle も.

So, だれでも = "even (if it's) anyone (...)", which can come off as dismissive. E.g.: だれでもできる = "even (if it's) anyone, (they) can do it."

誰にも darenimo = to everybody
誰でも daredemo = by everybody

Japanese Wikipedia's translation of "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" is 「ウィキペディアは誰でも編集できるフリー百科事典です」

Nothing when negative

も can mean "even" or "as much as". The で in 何でも is a contraction of the copula "です", which couples the preceding noun with a hidden "__が" (it) followed by the particle も.

So, when used in the positive, 何でも = "even (if it's) anything (...)", which can come off as dismissive. E.g.: 何でもいい = "even (if it's) anything, (it's) good."

When used in the negative, 何でもない = "not even (if it's) anything" = "nothing".

“For this presentation about the new software, WHAT (なん) features do you want me to DEMO?”
