[No. 0029 Kanji] Big


japanese kanji for big
This looks very easy to write because this is a kanji for primary school students. I'll give you examples how to use it.first.


Example:
大(おお)きいケーキを食(た)べた- I ate a big cake.
(ookii keki wo tabeta)

大画面(だいがめん)でテレビを見(み)る- I watch TV on a big screen.
(daigamen de terebi wo miru)


As for etymology, the kanji expresses a person stretching his/her arms. Like this kanji is originally made from hieroglyph. I hope you get to enjoy kanjis more than before with this background knowledge.
