NUN 尼僧、修道女
- A nun is a member of a religious group of women, usually living together, who promise not to marry and to live their lives serving God.
* See the 9 August 2007 WordMaster, “PRIEST vs. MONK”. - nun とは、たいていは、共同生活をし、神に奉仕する人生を送るために、独身でいることを誓っている、宗教的な女性の集団に所属する人のことです。

- Martha went to a Catholic school where all the teachers were nuns.
- The nuns at my church sing carols from 11 p.m. to midnight every year on Christmas Eve. Would you like to come hear them with me?
- (inside a Spanish cathedral during a church service)
a: What's the priest saying?
b: He's asking people to pray for all the nuns around the world who are serving the sick and the poor.
Take care!
