[N5] The difference between 降りる and 下りる
Good morning, today I will cover about the difference between 降りる and 下りる. Both verbs are pronounced as O-ri-ru.
As I am a Chinese, both of the words appear to have the same meaning in Chinese. However in Japanese, it is not exactly the same.
降りる is used when you want to get off something while 下りる is used when you are going down.
Examples of 降りる

[N5] The difference between つける and 開ける
Hi,
My first post will be about the differences between tsukeru (つける) and akeru (開ける).
Meaning
つける: Switch/Turn on
開ける: Open
There are tons of similarities between them but we have to choose the appropriate word for the right context.
Example
テレビをつける: Switch on the TV
パソコンをつける: Switch on the computer
MP3をつける: Switch on the MP3 player
ドアを開ける: Open the door
窓を開ける: Open the window
蓋を開ける: Open the lid
I will add more examples as time goes by.
See you :)
