How to say "Be" in Japanese

When translating "be" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 整う and 傷つく. In Japanese, 整う (ととのう (totonou)) is typically associated with "to be prepared, to be in order, to be arranged (intransitive)" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Intransitive verb. Used when things are properly arranged, organized, or prepared. Can also refer to conditions being met. The transitive form is 整える. On the other hand, 傷つく (きずつく (kizutsuku)) maps to "to be hurt (emotionally/physically); to get damaged/scratched (intransitive)" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Intransitive verb. Used when the subject experiences damage or hurt, often emotionally but can also be physical. A literal translation of "be" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
