House


Radical Combination


Meaning

House, Home

Mnemonic

The house radical makes up the house kanji! Pretty easy. This kanji is also used to mean home, so try to remember that too.

I guess not all houses are homes, and not all homes are houses. But there's a pretty big overlap, right? And in most situations, this kanji's got you covered.

Mnemonic

What do you do in your house? You eat eggs (いえ), that's what. You eat eggs three times a day, every day. You really love eating eggs in your home!

Imagine all the eggs you've got in your house. Whole fridgefuls! It's not a normal house, but that's okay. If you couldn't eat eggs, it wouldn't feel like home.
