森 Forest

Radical Combination

• 木

  Tree

Meaning

Primary

Forest

Alternative

Woods

Mnemonic

This kanji is just the tree radical three times. Just based off this, you should be able to figure it out. This kanji means "forest."

Hints

Makes sense, because a bunch of individual trees is what makes up a forest!

Readings

On’yomi

しん

Kun’yomi

もり

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

One tree? No. Two trees? Not enough. I want more (もり) trees, please!

Hints

Keep repeating this pattern over and over, continually focusing in on how you need "more" trees to make this forest. For some reason the person working with you only goes up by one at a time, though, so you have to say it a lot (it'll help you to remember, anyways!).
