Convenience, availability in Japanese 🇯🇵

つごう info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word 'つごう':
1. Associate 'つ' (tsu) with "tool" and 'ごう' (gou) with "goal," imagining that you need the right tools to reach a convenient goal.
2. Visualize a schedule (like your goal sheet) and remember 'つごう' fits into managing your plans conveniently.

Explanations:
– 'つごう' (tsugou) primarily means "convenience" or "availability" in terms of fitting into one's schedule.

– 都合 (とごう, togou): Another reading which is less common, but can mean convenience
– 具合 (ぐあい, guai): Condition, state, or manner
