Learn Kanji - Kanji Quiz

Guess what?

For upper beginners and lower intermediate learners

Many Kanjis are made from two or more parts.
Sometimes, not always, you can guess the meaning of Kanji from the part.
Can you guess what the following Kanji is?

Each Kanji (or part) has a story about how its shape was made.
However, unfortunately, the stories are not simple in many cases because Kanjis had been developed and modified over many years in ancient China.
In this material, we created or modified the stories for some Kanjis or parts in order that the learners can get a picture easily.
