How to say "Be" in Japanese

When translating "be" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 埋まる and 不満を持つ. In Japanese, 埋まる (うまる (umaru)) is typically associated with "to be buried; to be filled; to be clogged; to be packed" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to objects being buried underground, holes or gaps being filled up, or schedules/seats being fully packed or booked. Intransitive verb. Opposing word: 埋める. Often used as 予定が埋まる or 席が埋まる. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'To be filled! "My weekend schedule is completely filled with dates with you, Haruka-san!" ...っ! S-Schedule filled with dates! B-Baka! Don't show off your schedule! But... since it's filled, make sure you treat me to the best cafe and don't look at anyone else! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『うまる（埋まる）よ！『ハルカ部長、僕の今月の週末スケジュールは、あなたとのデート予定だけで完全に埋まりました！幸せです！』って…っ！スケジュールが埋まる！バカ！/// 当たり前でしょ！私のカレンダーだって、あんたとのデートと愛の計画だけで永久に「満席（ソールドアウト）」なんだから！』. On the other hand, 不満を持つ (ふまんをもつ (fuman o motsu)) maps to "to be dissatisfied, to have a complaint" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Expresses a feeling of discontent or dissatisfaction with a situation, service, or person. Often used when one's expectations are not met.. A literal translation of "be" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
