ようこそ to my of the day! Today features 間, interval or space!

As you can see from the examples, this is more of a conceptual kanji; the idea is the sun showing through a partially open gate.

にゃりがとう for stopping by! I appreciate it. ^_^

the best example I could give is this (SNK SPOILERS)
reiner used 猿 (saru) which means monkey
eren doesn’t know what a monkey is so he repeated it as さる (saru) basically he couldn’t use the kanji version bc he doesn’t know what it means
kanjis give unique meaning to words

ようこそ! Today's features 古, old!

This kanji originally meant something like "sturdy", and was represented by a depiction of a shield. It still carries hints of that in compounds like 古典, classic.

にゃりがとう for stopping by!

ようこそ! Today's features 新, new!

Fun fact, this kanji originally meant chopping firewood - you can even see the traces in the the components 立 stand, 木 tree, and 斤 axe.

Language shifts sure are interesting!

Thanks for coming! またにゃ!

ようこそ! Today's is 今, now!

As in, "I am now studying kanji", 今はかんじをべんきょうしています。

One of the best ways to remember kanji is to make up sentences with it, so try your own!

にゃりがとう! またにゃ!

ようこそ! My for today features the last of the four seasons, 冬, winter!

Winter is often considered the "end" of the year, and so that's what this kanji originally meant - end.

It's not the end of my kanji studies though! ^_^

にゃりがとう!

ようこそ! Apologies for the delay, internet is back up and running now.

My today is 秋, fall!

I like how this kanji evokes both trees and fire - since autumn leaves turn red, orange, and yellow. ^_^

にゃりがとう、みんにゃ！またにゃ！

ようこそ! My thankfully not delayed today is 夏, summer!

Incidentally, I was born in the summer, so that's why I tend to have such a sunny disposition. ^_^

Thanks for stopping by, and please feel free to share this with your friends!

ようこそ! Today's is 春, spring!

The etymology of this kanji is really interesting - it's represented by sprouting vegetation plus the sun. Very fitting for spring. ^_^

にゃりがとう、みんにゃ！またにゃ！

ようこそ! My for today features 週, week!

I didn't have the space to put 今週 (this week) and 先週 (last week) in the PNG, but knowing the 先(last) 今(this) 来(next) pattern is really useful. ^_^

i.e.

先月 - last month
来年 - next year

ようこそ! My for the day is 分, part/minute/understand!

This is a really all-purpose kanji - you use it to measure parts of things including minutes (parts of an hour), but it's also used to indicate understanding something!

またにゃ!

ようこそ! Today's is 夜, night!

Fun fact I learned - this originally referred more to "evening", but it's since become used for nighttime as well. Thus 夜食 is "late meal" rather than supper.

にゃりがとう! またにゃ!

ようこそ! Today's is 昼, daytime/noon!

So you'll often hear 昼ごはん to refer to lunch in anime. I picked 昼食 because it's more formal - i.e., better to use with people you don't know well.

にゃりがとう! またにゃ!

ようこそ! My today features 朝, morning!

The original concept for this kanji is the sun rising through vegetation while the moon is still visible. I found that to be pretty interesting when I learned it.

Thanks for stopping by, またにゃ!

ようこそ! I'm resuming my daily kanjistudy, and today features 曜, day of the week.

Many times this is translated "weekday", and it covers all the days of the week:

日曜 (Su)
月曜 (M)
火曜 (Tu)
水曜 (W)
木曜 (Th)
金曜 (F)
土曜 (Sa)

にゃりがとう! またにゃ!

Apologies for the delay. Here's my for today: 時, time.

This kanji is probably the first where I recognized the meaning of the individual components and how they contribute. 日 (sun), 土 (ground), 寸 (measure) form a sundial.

にゃりがとう. ^_^

ようこそ to my Today features 心, heart!

Even though it doesn't look like it now, this kanji was originally drawn as an actual heart once upon a time.. ^_^

ようこそ! Today's features 首, neck!

This kanji has actually diverged a bit from the original meaning. It was originally a side view of a head - hair on the top and the eye in the middle of the face. Very neat. ^_^

にゃりがとう、またにゃ！

ようこそ! Today's is on 顔, face!

Apparently part of this kanji originally referred to the forehead, which is why it and 頭 share a component.

にゃりがとう! じゃまた!

ようこそ!

Today I'm featuring 頭, head, in my

This kanji is also used as a counter for large animals! Think like "heads" of cattle. I thought that was really interesting when I learned it.

にゃりがとう！ I hope you're enjoying these. ^_^
