Koeru: Part 1
Today, I would like to introduce the usage of the verb koeru (肥える).
Basically, koeru means for people or animals to gain weight by eating.
Since it includes the nuance of gaining weight by absorbing nutrition, it will sound healthier than simply saying futoru (太る - meaning "to get weight" or "to get fat").
(Of course, note that it can often be rude to use these words towards someone else.)
As mentioned above, koeru has a meaning similar to futoru when used by itself toward a person or animal. However, when it is used for a specific organ of the human body, it has a different meaning.

肥える Part 1
今日は「肥える」という動詞の使い方について紹介します。
「肥える」は、人や動物に肉がついて太ることを意味する動詞です。
栄養を取り入れて太るニュアンスが含まれるため、単に「太る」と言うよりも健康的に聞こえるかもしれません。
（もちろん、他人に対して使うと失礼になることが多いので注意してください。）
単に「肥える」と言うと、「太る」に近い意味になりますが、人体の特定の器官に対して使うと違う意味を持ちます。

Hello Toru! Thank you again for your enlightening post, as always.
With Lang-8 shutting down, do you plan to continue posting on either Nyan-8 and/or LangCorrect? I am a member of both those sites using the same username as the one I have now.
It's been a pleasure learning so much from your awesome journal entries, and I hope to see you again sometime in the future!
