-'''Ukeire''' {{kana|受け入れ}} factors the number of tiles needed to improve the hand and ultimately to tenpai.  Normally, this is under consideration with hand shapes of [[Shanten|2-shanten]] or less.  Hand shapes of 3-shanten or more produces very large ukeire counts, making it unnecessary to even be aware of the count during the game.
+'''Ukeire''' {{kana|受け入れ}}, or '''tile acceptance''', refers to the number of tiles that you could draw to reduce [[shanten]] count (i.e. get closer to tenpai). This typically matters when a hand is 2-[[shanten]] or below, since 3-shanten and higher hands often have a high ukeire.
+Occasionally, tile acceptance can also include tiles that could upgrade the hand (i.e. a tile that increases the hand's ukeire).
