姉
Meaning:
In Japanese, 姉 means “older sister”.
How to read it:
| Kunyomi | あね、ねえ |
| Onyomi | し |
How to write it:
Origin:
It’s hard to remember this kanji by its origin. However, I will think of a way to help you remember it.
| 姉＝女＋市。 女 means “woman”，市 means “market”. When you were small，it’s your elder sister that buy something for you in the market, because your parents are busy. So 姉 stands for “elder sister”. |
