@newrealmjapan: 停止 means to stop and 線 means line So, 停止線 (ていしせん) means “stop line" (a painted line on the road where cars must stop) で is the particle marks the place where the action happens. 止まれ is a command (imperative) form of 止まる (とまる) which means to stop So altogether the sign 停止線で止まれ translates to "Stop at the stop line." #learnjapanese #studyjapanese #japaneselesson #jlpt #日本語
