On this Friday the 13th, as the dark pall of winter slowly draws over our hemisphere, we thought you could use a word that - in a different context - speaks of spring and hope!
RENEW 更新する
- To renew a contract, visa, etc., is to extend it for an additional period of time, often by signing, providing, or applying for a new (but similar) document.
The noun form is renewal. - renew とは、契約やビザなどをさらに一定期間延長する、つまり、更新する、という意味です。これはしばしば、新しい(同様の)文書に署名したり、文書を発行、申請したりすることによって行われます。
名詞形は renewal で、更新、という意味です。
- My membership at the club expires in July, but I'm not sure I'm going to renew. Dues have gotten very expensive.
- (someone from Human Resources)
Most of our contracts for employment are for one year and are renewed annually. - I just got a notice from my landlord saying that I have to pay 120,000 yen to renew my lease. With key money, security deposits, and renewal fees, renting an apartment in Japan sure is expensive!
- Our patent is up for renewal next year, but we're thinking about selling the design instead.
Keep a smile on your face this weekend!
