#3 What does 木 mean?　~ Japanese kanji~ - Why don't you study Japanese culture, grammar, sightseeing spot, manners here?!

2018. 12.17

Hello everyone.
How are you?

Thank you so much for coming here.

It's kÜshi.

🔴I help you study kanji and Japanese
by making example sentences with
kanji.

And then I explain the grammars and
all the kanji which are used in the
sentences

🔴I realized that I should make useful
sentences so that you can learn kanii
with very natural Japanese which we
usually use, not formal ones.

🔴The method to study here.

I always make very natural sentences,
so they are sometimes difficult to
understand.

But don't worry. I explain everything in
detail.

So this is one of the best methods to
study here.

1. Copy the sentences on paper
carefully.

2. Read aloud the sentence while
looking it.

3. Read the explanations.

I hope this helps you a lot!

So today's kanji is 木

木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木木

Reads: ki
Means: tree

Ex.

1. It's fun to climb a tree
...木にのぼるのは楽しい
/ki ni noboru no wa tano-shii/

👉のぼる(noboru) means to climb.

👉のは(no wa)

This is a special word.
This can make verbs to be noun by putting after the verbs.

So のぼるのは means "climbing is"

👉楽しい(たのしい, tano-shii)

This means "fun"

So 木にのぼるのは楽しい, this means like "climbing a tree is fun"

2. There are many trees.
...たくさんの木がある
/takusan no ki ga aru/

👉たくさんの(takusan no)
This means "many"

👉たくさんの木
This means "many trees"

Japanese words basically don't change forms if they are many like "treeS"

👉ある(aru)
This means "to exist" and is only used for stuffs.

For animals, we use いる(iru).

For example,

・He's there
...彼はあそこに"いる"

→彼(かれ, kare) means he
→あそこに(asoko ni)...there

・ Bears are in the forest
...くまは森に"いる"

→くま(kuma) means a bear
→森(もり, mori) means forest. Forest has a lot of trees, so 森 is contain three trees.

So that's all today.

Thank you for reading!

See you next time!
