Geometry Kanji: 幾 how many + 何 what + 学 study How many? What? In this area of study, you ask these questions a lot. This area of study is geometry, because you have to ask how many sides and how much the area is or something (can you tell I don't remember any maths?). Reading: きかがく The 学 is read correctly, in terms of what you learned. The 幾 and 何 is weird, though. Just think how when you're asking a question in Japanese, you end the sentence with か. So, it's like, "何か????" and that's why it becomes か. Then, for 幾 think about how the key (き) to answering geometry questions correctly is figuring out "how many" sides something has. So, "do you have the keyか?"

Answer 13

Answer 16

How many Kanji: 幾 how many + つ This has the same meaning as the kanji, specifically the how many meaning. You know this because you ask "how many" and they answer "つ."

This can refer to all kinds of things, like a spider's web or a mouse's burrow or a bee's hive, etc. Basically, it's a place where animals live, not necessarily just a nest as in a bird's "nest," etc. Reading: す The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji.

Answer 35

Our country Kanji: 我 I + が + 国 country You learned that 我が means "our", so our country is simply our country. Just like 我が itself, this expression is somewhat old-fashioned and stylized. It comes up a lot in political discourse and other formal contexts. Reading: わがくに You learned this reading for 我 when you learned 我が. Just watch out for 国, which you might expect to rendaku here, but doesn't!

Long ago, 倉 were places to store grain, while 庫 used to be associated with places to store vehicles, as the kanji composition suggests. These days, they're both used for general storage, but also refer to places to store goods and merchandise. Between the two, 倉 is much more commonly used.

To be extended Kanji: 延 prolong + び + る This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. This is an intransitive verb, meaning that it happens on its own, and we're not talking about what makes it happen. So this verb means to be extended, to be delayed, or to be prolonged. If you know the word ビル, you can think about how building work is always prolonged or delayed, to help you remember that this is intransitive. We never know why it's delayed, it just happens all by itself! Reading: のびる Since this word has okurigana (hiragana attached to the kanji) you know that it's probably going to be the kun'yomi reading. Lucky for you, the kanji readings for transitive and intransitive verbs are almost always the same. Once you learn one, you know them both! This reading is the same as 延ばす.

Answer 54

To be rich in Kanji: 富 rich + む Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means rich so the verb vocab version would be to be rich in. 富む is a formal word that's commonly used in writing. While it can refer to material wealth, it's more commonly used figuratively to describe an abundance of qualities, a place rich in nature or specific resources, or emotional richness or fulfillment.

You know that this verb represents when something is scattering (you're not doing the scattering), because you would never be so rude as to scatter someone or something yourself. It only happens when it happens on its own. Reading: ちる Think about something scattering. That something is cheese (ち), scattering all over the floor, going everywhere, getting in everything. Ugh, you hate how cheese scatters, don't you?

Answer 56

To be surprised Kanji: 驚 surprised + く Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means surprised, so the verb vocab version is to be surprised.

Answer 57

To brood Kanji: 思 think + い + 詰 stuffed + め + る詰める is "to stuff in." If you're really stuffing in your thoughts (think), you're thinking very deeply and seriously.

Answer 60

The kanji itself means illuminate, so this means to illuminate or to shine light on something. But don't get it confused with 照れる, which is "to feel embarrassed" — that would be embarrassing.

Answer 64

Tokugawa Kanji: 徳 virtue + 川 river This is one of those words that makes more sense when you look at the reading. The "Virtue River" isn't some virtuous river, it's in fact the Tokugawa family name, also known as the Tokugawa Shogun. They ran Japan for a while, you know? Reading: とくがわ The readings are 徳 and the vocab 川 put together into one word. Once you can read this, you'll know the meaning too, so focus on the reading for this one.

Answer 65

Tokushima prefecture Kanji: 徳 virtue + 島 island + 県 prefecture The virtue island prefecture is Tokushima prefecture. The reading will give away the meaning of this one, so long as you knew "prefecture." Reading: とくしまけん The readings are the ones you learned with the individual kanji. Put them together and you'll know this is Tokushima Prefecture.

Answer 66

To lament Kanji: 嘆 sigh + く When you sigh, you feel a certain type of emotion. A type that makes you feel sad and causes you to lament and to grieve.

Curious about the difference between 捜す and 探す? While there is some overlap between the two, 捜す is typically used in official, thorough searches for something or someone that is thought to concretely exist and has disappeared or cannot be easily found. In contrast, 探す can also be used for personal searches for things that one desires or is looking for. Reading: さがす You are looking for a sagger (さが) amongst the products you're shipping off overseas. The saggers are the boxes that have weird lumps sagging out of them, which means they broke and are getting things wet. So, find the saggers. Go to search for them, because they could ruin the whole shipment.

Answer 69

To pile things up Kanji: 積 accumulate + む積もる is "to accumulate." Now you're doing the accumulating, and in order to do that you must go to pile things up. More and more and more. How do you know that this verb is when you're doing the accumulating? It's because you are piling up cows (む). Wow, a cow piler. Reading: つむ The reading comes from 積もる, so pile up your knowledge and remember it that way.

Answer 70

To rescue Kanji: 救 rescue + う Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means rescue so the verb vocab version is to rescue.

Answer 72

To separate Kanji: 離 detach + れ + る Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means detach, but what happens when something detaches? It causes it to separate and to leave. This refers to when something separates on its own. You aren't doing the separating. You know this because it's rare (れる) to see things separate, but sometimes you do see them. Also, whenever you see れる usually it's a safe bet that you're not the one doing the action, right? Think about it. Reading: はなれる For the reading, think about what is separating. It's quite sad, because all of the 花s (はな) are separating from their stems and falling on the ground, and nobody knows why. Just falling off and being sad.
