Definition: two |
| Kun-yomi: ふた・つ | |
| On-yomi: ニ |
Overview
Just two horizontal lines to mean “two”. Awesome, Kanji is so logical. You got this!
This Kanji also happens to look exactly like the Katakana 「ニ」, which is also how it’s read! I don’t know if that’s helpful or confusing.
If we’re talking about 「に」, how could I forget the Knights who say Ni! I assume not the same word but at least it sounds the same!
Examples
Example 1
-
にのかんじもかんたん！

Example 2

A: ことわざだよ！
A: (It’s) a proverb!
Example 3

B: (It) ends up that way because (you) went to the after-party.
B: Was there (an) after-party?
A: だめだこりゃ
A: This is no good.

Sorry, has nothing to do with Kanji!
