peach

“Peach” (ピーチ) means momo (桃), or peach, in Japanese. Peaches are sweet, juicy fruits that are in season in summer and have long been loved in Japan. In English, “peach” is also used metaphorically—because of its soft, gentle image—to describe a person’s character or someone’s skin.

“Fire!” in Japanese corresponds to “Kaji da!” which means “There’s a fire!” It’s a very important expression used to alert others in an emergency. In English-speaking countries, this word also carries a strong warning and is often shouted loudly. By the way, “fire” is a polysemous word: as a noun it means “fire,” and as a verb it can mean “to shoot” or “to dismiss (someone from a job).”

Have a nice day.

"Have a nice day." means "yoi ichinichi wo" (have a good day) in Japanese. In English-speaking countries, it is commonly used as a parting greeting and conveys consideration and kindness, wishing that the other person’s day will be a pleasant one.

They are in the hospital.

"They are in the hospital." means 「彼らは病院にいます。」 in Japanese. This sentence indicates that someone is currently inside a hospital and may possibly be hospitalized. Note that it differs in meaning from "働いています" (are working) or "行きます" (will go/are going).

ginger

“Ginger” (jinjā) means shōga in Japanese. Shōga has a distinctive aroma and spiciness, and is widely used to add flavor to dishes and as a condiment. It is also believed to warm the body and has long been valued for preventing colds and combating chills. Uses like “ginger tea” and “ginger cookies” are familiar in English as well.

Today is Sunday.

"It's Sunday" means "今日は日曜日です。" in Japanese. "It is ～" is a basic expression meaning "～です" and is often used when talking about days of the week or the weather. "明日は日曜日です。" would be expressed differently, such as "It's Sunday tomorrow."

pumpkin

“Pumpkin” refers to kabocha (winter squash) in English. The word “pumpkin” is often used especially for the large orange pumpkins associated with Halloween. The green kabocha commonly eaten in Japan may be called “squash,” but it is also widely treated as “pumpkin.”
