						<![CDATA[
						<p>Anyone else notice how there are a ton of kanji meaning &#8216;build/building/to build&#8217;? </p>
<p>I know most of them, just not the context, ergo. If one is for a specific type of building. So, does anyone want to list them out for me? </p>
<p>:D<br />
Thanks a ton.<br />

						<![CDATA[
						<p>You can search for a list of kanji with the word &#8220;build&#8221; in the list of meanings over on jisho.org.</p>
<p><a href="http://jisho.org/kanji?rt=jap&#038;reading=&#038;mt=en&#038;meaning=build&#038;ct=strokes&#038;code=&#038;jy_only=on" rel="nofollow">http://jisho.org/kanji?rt=jap&#038;reading=&#038;mt=en&#038;meaning=build&#038;ct=strokes&#038;code=&#038;jy_only=on</a></p>
<p>Then for each one that looks interesting, you can search for words that use that kanji using the little &#8220;words&#8221; link in its row.</p>
<p>Another way of going about this is to search for the word &#8220;build&#8221; in an English-Japanese dictionary.</p>
<p><a href="http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/ej3/11794/m0u/build/" rel="nofollow">http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/ej3/11794/m0u/build/</a></p>
<p>That will tell you how to say things like &#8220;build a house&#8221; and &#8220;build a fire.&#8221;</p>
