織ります（おります、orimasu）
- to weave

The Japanese verb 織ります (おります) means "to weave" or "to knit." It refers to the process of creating fabric or cloth by interlacing threads or yarn. It can also refer to the act of creating something similar through a process of interlacing.

⚫︎ 機(はた)で布(ぬの)を織ります。 Translation: I weave cloth with a loom. ⚫︎ 彼女(かのじょ)はセーターを織ります。 Translation: She knits a sweater. ⚫︎ バスケットを織ります。 Translation: I weave a basket.

This verb is used when describing the act of creating fabric, textiles, or similar items by interlacing threads, yarn, or other materials. It is a transitive verb, meaning it typically takes a direct object (the thing being woven or knit). You would use this word when talking about creating clothes, baskets, tapestries, etc., using techniques like weaving or knitting. Remember to conjugate the verb based on the tense and the subject of the sentence. For example, the polite form in present tense is 織ります (おります), the past tense is 織りました (おりました), the negative form is 織りません (おりません), etc.

The word 織ります (おります) is typically written with the kanji 織, which means "to weave," and the hiragana ります, which is the conjugation of the verb. The verb stem is 織 (ori-) and is followed by the appropriate verb ending. There are no significant variations in okurigana for this verb.

There aren't many direct synonyms for "to weave" in Japanese that have the same broad application. However, words like: ⚫︎ 編(あ)みます (amimasu) - to knit (specifically, with needles) ⚫︎ 組(く)みます (kumimasu) - to assemble, to put together (can sometimes imply interlacing or weaving depending on the context).

There isn't a direct antonym for weaving. You could consider the opposite action to be something like "to cut" or "to undo", however, those words are not antonyms in the true sense, so the antonym depends heavily on the context.
