我慢する
Gaman is one of the most difficult Japanese words to say in English. Some of the meanings of the word are really different in English.Be patient – When someone pressures you (圧力を掛ける) to hurry, you ask the person to “be patient”. Also, if you know a person who doesn’t get angry when people are late or do things slowly, you could also use “patient”.
例：”Please be patient.”
例：”I’m a slow learner, but my teacher is very patient with me.”
Stand・endure – When you are talking about pain or a difficult situation, use the word “stand” or “endure”. “Stand” is more casual than “endure” and “endure” is only used for physical things (E.g. pain and tiredness).
例：”He never stops talking. I can’t stand him.” (×I can’t endure him.)
例：”I’m going to Hawaii because I can’t stand/endure the cold weather in February.”
例：”I couldn’t stand/endure the pain so I took some pain killers (鎮痛剤).”
Hold your temper – In a situation where you want to get angry, but try to remain calm (冷静さを保つ), you can say “hold your temper.”
例：”He was really rude (失礼), but I held my temper.”
Persevere – If someone makes a strong effort for a long time, or if one tries again many times after failing, we sometimes use the word "persevere."
例：”The exam (試験) was difficult, but he persevered and passed it on his third attempt (三度目の試みで).
Stick it out – When you want to talk about continuing in a difficult situation, you can use the phrase “stick it out”.
例： ”My new job is really tough, but I am going to stick it out.”
例： “He wasn’t very good at first, but he stuck it out and became one of the best players on the team.
