To Bathe In
To Be Exposed To
transitive verb, ichidan verb
This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means bathe so the verb vocab version is to bathe in.
This verb is transitive, and the object is whatever you're "bathing in". It could be a bath or a shower, but it could also be the sun. So you can both シャワーを浴びる and 日の光を浴びる. More negatively, this can also mean to be exposed to something, such as criticism or radioactivity.
