Monogatari

monogatari: (1) tale (2) story (3) legend

物語 -- n.

Hint: I think there are lots of Japanese books, anime, and TV dorama that using the word 'monogatari'. There was a classic manga called Yokohama Monogatari, notable manga/anime Saiunkoku Monogatari, and a dorama called Hyakunen no Monogatari.

Kami, Kami-sama

kami: (1) god (2) deity (3) spirit

神 -- n.

Hint: sometimes when combining with another word, it changes into 'gami'. Like saying shinigami (death god, death reaper).

kami-sama: God. Directly addressing to God as Subject.

神様 -- n.
Hints:  You use this word, for example, in prayer, "God, please help me", or "Let's pray to God". Have you ever watch Kami-sama, Mou Sukoshi Dake? It is a drama that is still popular right up now.
