Radical Combination

  • 単 Simple
  • 戈 Drunkard

Meaning

Primary

War

Alternative

Battle

Mnemonic

Even a simple drunkard can start a war. In fact, it's really common for one simple drunk person to offend an entire country into declaring war.

Hints

Think about all of the people you know. You can picture at least one of them getting drunk and, I dunno, sending out a simple drunk tweet that starts the next world war. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Readings

On’yomi

せん

Kun’yomi

たたか, いくさ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Welp, you woke up this morning and now you're at war with the centaurs (せん). This is especially unfortunate, because the centaurs are really good at battles because they're all automatically cavalry troops.

Hints

Imagine the war of humans vs centaurs. Do you really think the humans will win? Centaurs are really powerful and they have all of the same high tech weapons as us AND horse legs.
