クラス info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
Think of the English word "class" and note how similar it sounds to the Japanese "クラス" (kurasu). Both words are derived from the same root, making it easy to remember.

Explanations:
クラス (kurasu) is a Katakana word which is often used to describe a class or group of students in school. Katakana is typically used for foreign words that have been adopted into Japanese.

Other words that mean the same thing:
授業 (じゅぎょう, jugyō) – This can also mean "class" or "lesson," particularly in the context of the subject matter being taught.
学級 (がっきゅう, gakkyū) – This term is more specific to a class or grade level in school.

Alternate meanings like slang:
クラス (kurasu) is primarily used in educational contexts and has no significant slang meanings in modern Japanese. However, it could informally refer to a group or set in certain contexts, much like "class" in English.

Examples of sentences that use it:
1. 今日の英語のクラスはとても楽しかったです。
(きょうのえいごのクラスはとてもたのしかったです。)
Kyō no eigo no kurasu wa totemo tanoshikatta desu.
Today's English class was very fun.

2. 私たちは同じクラスです。
(わたしたちはおなじクラスです。)
Wataachi wa onaji kurasu desu.
We are in the same class.

3. 数学のクラスで宿題が出ました。
(すうがくのクラスでしゅくだいがでました。)
Sūgaku no kurasu de shukudai ga demaa.
Homework was assigned in the math class.
