Today, let's try mathematical kanji exercise!
Q. Answer the following questions.
eg：イ(person) + 動 (to move) = 働 (to work)
① イ(person) + 賞 (prize, award) =
② イ(person) + 憂 (anxious) =
③ イ(person) + 夢 (dream) =
④ イ(person) + 寺 (temple) =
⑤ イ(person) + 為 (for, sake) =
Answer key：
① イ(person) + 賞 (prize, award) = 償 (compensate, recompense)
Do we have to compensate when we win a prize!?
② イ(person) + 憂 (anxious) = 優 (kind, gentle)
We can be kind because we feel anxious?
③ イ(person) + 夢 (dream) = 儚 (empty, fragile, frail)
Having a dream is empty… (T T)
④ イ(person) + 寺 (temple) = 侍 (samurai)
Samurai was in a temple?
⑤ イ(person) + 為 (for, sake) = 偽 (fake)
Doing something for someone is fake!??
These are interesting...
Some of them seem difficult kanji, but maybe not so difficult to remember because of the meanings?? ;)
How to read the kanji...
働く (hataraku) 償う (tsugunau) 優しい (yasashii)
儚い (hakanai) 侍 (samurai) 偽 (nise)
Akiko-san,
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting but it's not easy. I know only half of it. :P Thanks for teaching!

ReplyDeleteI feel long time no see you!
I was glad to find your comment again. ^_^
Actually some of them are not 常用漢字 (jooyookanji : 1954 basic kanji), so it's sometimes difficult to write the kanji even for native Japanese people. (^ ^;)
Akiko-san,
ReplyDeleteYeah! It's been quite some time for me to read your blog. I'd been away recently. In fact, I'd missed reading your blog. It's funny and helpful! :-) Thanks!
It's true that some of my friends told me so. It's because of the prevalent use of PC.
Have a nice weekend ahead!
