Memory Hook
Imagine a 'key' (期限 kigen sounds like 'key-gen') that unlocks a deadline — you must finish before the key expires! 'Key-gen' → 期限 (kigen, 'deadline').
Cultural Note
In Japan, deadlines are taken very seriously in work and school settings. Missing a 『期限』 (kigen, 'deadline') can be seen as disrespectful or unprofessional, so it's common to hear phrases like 『期限を守る』 (kigen o mamoru, 'to meet the deadline').
