  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Conservative

Alternative

Conservatism

Word Type

noun

Explanation

You know that 主義 is "-ism." Add that ism to people who want to protect and conserve their country so it stays just the way it is (forever). That's conservatism and they're conservative people.

Reading

ほしゅしゅぎ

Explanation

This word uses the reading of 保守的 for the first half and then the regular kanji readings for the second half. Combine those things and you'll be a master of righteousness and / or kanji.

Context

Context Sentences

私の両親は、二人とも教師で、めちゃくちゃ古風な保守主義者です。

My parents are both teachers and extremely old-fashioned conservatives.
