漢字バトル①
とりあえず・・
泳ぎ VS 永遠 (えいえん)
違い: water radical on left side of およぎ!!Both 漢字 have an 音読み of エイ. So I suppose 泳 could be thought of as "water for eternity", which is like swimming! (You're in water for a long time, right.)
捨てる vs 拾う 【ひろう】 (v5u) to pick up, to find, to gather, (P)
違い: the top right part.. すてる has "ground" while ひろう does not. So, remember: you throw things away on the ground.. And ひろう is hand + 合う, so you're gathering things in your hand, or pick up, or to gather. OK!役 【やく】 (n,n-suf) use, service, role, position, (P)
VS
投げる【なげる】 (v1) to throw, to cast away, (P) // 投じる (とうじる) (v1) to throw, to cast, to invest, (P)
ヒント: Throwing/casting away requires your hand (手偏). The one with the 行人偏 (ぎょうにんべん、彳) is やく。
矢 【や】 VS 夫 【おっと】 (n) (hum) (my) husband, (P)
大丈夫 【だいじょうぶ】 夫婦 【ふうふ】
壁 【かべ】 VS 整う 【ととのう】 (v5u) to be prepared, to be in order, to be put in order, to be arranged, (P)
整える 【ととのえる】 (v1) (1) to put in order, to arrange, to adjust, (2) to get ready, to prepare, (3) to raise money, (P)
メモ: This one's pretty bad-- they look completely different. The problem is, I don't encounter many kanji that have that 品-like arrangement.
おまけ: 壁 (かべ) and かんぺき (完璧) have a connection-- the last connection in 完璧 means sphere, and the bottom is simply 玉 (たま・ball, sphere) instead of 土 (つち・ground, soil)
壁 = looks a little like 局 + 辛い + 土. But whatever.
Similar かべ-like kanji are
山襞 【やまひだ】 (n) folds of a mountain
劈 【へき】 (n) break, tear, pierce, split, burst
plus the obscure and not-even-defined 嬖 and 甓 kanji.
「軍の車庫」 (ぐんのしゃこ)
軍 【ぐん】 (n,n-suf) army, force, troops, (P)
庫 .... (倉庫【そうこ】(n) storehouse, warehouse, godown, (P)
金庫 【きんこ】 (n) safe, vault, treasury, provider of funds, (P)
信用金庫【しんようきんこ】 (n) credit union, (P)
岩 (いわ) & 炭【すみ】 (n) charcoal, (P) &
