Item
noun, counter
You learned the kanji means product, and the vocab here can mean that too, but more often it will have a broader meaning like article or item. You might hear a salesclerk refer to their goods as 品, but you'll also see it in phrases like 思い出の品 (a memento) and 感謝の品 (a token of gratitude).
When this kanji is used as a single-character vocabulary word, it usually has the kun'yomi reading しな. You haven't seen the しな reading yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:
Your favorite articles and items all have a special sheen (しな) that only you can see. Maybe it's because of all the memories and emotions you attach to those items, but they all seem to glow with a sheen that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside when you look at them.
Keep in mind this will have the on'yomi reading ひん when it's used like a suffix at the end of some compounds, like ブランド品 (a brand-name item). But しな will be your go-to reading when it's a standalone vocab word used to talk about goods, articles, and items!
