Anyone else notice how there are a ton of kanji meaning ‘build/building/to build’?
I know most of them, just not the context, ergo. If one is for a specific type of building. So, does anyone want to list them out for me?
:D
Thanks a ton.

http://jisho.org/kanji?rt=jap&reading=&mt=en&meaning=build&ct=strokes&code=&jy_only=on
Then for each one that looks interesting, you can search for words that use that kanji using the little “words” link in its row.
Another way of going about this is to search for the word “build” in an English-Japanese dictionary.
http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/ej3/11794/m0u/build/
That will tell you how to say things like “build a house” and “build a fire.”
July 8, 2011 at 4:10 pm #13853I usually like to read everything in detail (except missing’s long chat conversations with his friend tosh) but NO WAY am I wasting time reading that long long list budonoseito has comprehended.
Nice list, though! VERY HELPFUL, it seems.
July 8, 2011 at 7:38 pm #13855Yes Bud, I really appreciate it man.
:D
Also, I didn’t mean to sound like I didn’t apprieciate your help.
Thanks so much. :D
