The Kanji 用

今日の日本語の新漢字は "用" だ。 用の意味は "use/usage/business" だ。 発音は"よう" と言う。

たとえば:

(1) 用いる = もちいる = to use
(2) 使用する = しようする = to use
(3) 利用者 = りようしゃ = user
(4) 用事 = ようじ = business


用を思い出した。 I've just remembered I have something to do.

その日は用がある。I have something to do that day.

私にご用でしょうか。Did you want me?
