| Comments: | Further elaborate glosses to clarify “from/under a teacher” nuance (to avoid confusion). FWIW, both 「げんき」 and JSL gloss this pretty vaguely, as “to learn” (JSL has “take lessons” too though), so this is *very* easily and often confused. |

| Comments: | The current single "learn" definition is misleading, because 習う typically implies an outside actor doing the education. |
