まど = window

雲

くも = cloud, Ex: 空には白い雲が浮かんでいた。= そら に は しろい くも が うかん で い た = White clouds floated in the sky. {Note: 浮かぶ = to float, to rise to the surface; also, to come up with, as in ideas}

完投

かんとう = complete game (baseball)

まうんど = mound (in baseball, the pitcher's area on the field)

最初

さいしょ = first or beginning (noun, can take の to become adjective-ish, ex: 最初のバッターが来た。= The first batter came up.)

浮かぶ

うかぶ = to float, to rise to the surface, to come up with (ideas); also used for emotions appearing on someone’s face; also can be used for a doomed pitch that stays up, Ex: チェンジアップが浮いてしまいました。

侮辱的な表現

ぶじょくてきなひょうげん = insulting expression {Note: nouns can’t modify other nouns unless “no” is involved, so here ～的（てき）is used to help “insulting” modify “expression,” making it “insulting type of expression” more or less}

this kind of; this type of; such a thing (used to refer to something mentioned previously in conversation). Ex: こう言うことはしないでください。= Please don’t do such a thing. , Ex: こういう映画 = that type of movie
