- くらいExplanation:
「くらい」 (kurai) or 「ぐらい」 (gurai) means 'about', 'approximately', or 'around' when referring to quantities, duration, or extent. 「十分くらい (juppun kurai)」 means 'about 10 minutes'. Usage: [Quantity/Duration] + くらい/ぐらい.
- どこかExplanation:
「どこか」 (dokoka) means 'somewhere' or 'someplace'. It is formed by adding 「か」 (ka) to the question word 「どこ」 (doko - where). Usage: どこか へ/に [Verb].

「けど」 (kedo) is a casual conjunction meaning 'but' or 'although', similar to 「けれども」 (keredomo) but less formal. It connects contrasting ideas or can soften a statement. Usage: [Clause 1] けど、[Clause 2].
- たことがあるExplanation:
「〜たことがある」 (ta koto ga aru) is used to express past experiences, meaning 'have done ~ before'. It is formed by taking the past tense plain form (た-form) of a verb and adding 「ことがある」. Usage: [Verb (た-form)] + ことがある.
- このExplanation:
「この」 (kono) means 'this (+Noun)'. It is used before a noun to refer to something close to the speaker. Usage: この [Noun].
- かったExplanation:
A verb in its plain past tense (た-form) can directly modify a noun, creating a relative clause. 「買った本 (katta hon)」 means 'the book that (I) bought'. 「買う (kau)」 -> 「買った (katta)」. Usage: [Verb-た form] + [Noun].
