What are Kanji (漢字)?
Kanji are logographic characters adopted from Chinese, used alongside Hiragana (ひらがな) and Katakana (カタカナ) in modern Japanese. Each character often represents a concept, idea, or object.
Most Kanji have multiple readings:
- On'yomi (音読み): Sino-Japanese reading (from Chinese). Often used in compound words (jukugo 熟語).
- Kun'yomi (訓読み): Native Japanese reading. Often used for standalone words or with Hiragana endings (okurigana 送り仮名).
