to remove dust from something
何かからほこりを取り除く (nanika kara hokori o torinozoku)
"Could you dust off the shelves before putting the books back?"
"本を戻す前に棚のほこりを取り除いてくれる？" (Hon o modosu mae ni tana o dust off shite kureru?)
to reveal something that was hidden or unclear
to focus on your own thoughts and feelings
to change from one job or career path to another
to start something quickly and effectively
to manage the speed of a meeting appropriately
to process emotions patiently so you understand them
