in #japanese7 years ago

Dear my Steemian friends,

Today let's learn the following kanji 口.

This kanji 口 comes from the shape of the mouth.
(The lips of the image above are so attractive, don't you think?)

As you might know, a large number of kanjis derive from the forms of things.
For instance, 木 (ki) comes from the form of a tree.

pronuncation of the kanji

There are 2 ways of pronunciation, but for the time being you only need to memorize one kind of pronunciation for one kanji,
which will help you improve your Japanese rapidly.

In this case its primary pronunciation is "kuchi".

Stroke Order

As you can see, the 2 principal rules of stroke orders apply to this kanji:
1. From left to right
2. From up to down

It will be quite useful to remember 9 stroke order principles as I mentioned in

That's it for today's lesson.
I hope you will memorize the pronunciation and stroke order of today's kanji (口).

Besos, (which means kisses in Spanish)
Ashitaka
