Maintenance
Support
noun, verbal noun
Maintain what we have and put it on hold. We need to keep it up to date and fixed, so we need maintenance.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
車は維持費が高いし、今はまだそんな余裕はないな。
The cost of car maintenance is really high and I can’t afford that yet.
