Meaning: Indicate
Instead of saying “two small” let’s say “too small.” Almost the same, right?
What’s “too small,” though? Think about something that you have control over. Maybe you’re the boss of a group, or something. A cult leader… whatever. Now, imagine yourself having to indicate that something is too small to join your group. I’ll let you decide what that thing is, but it should be awkward enough where you have to indicate rather than just come out and say it.
Reading: n/i
There’s no on’yomi reading that you have to learn with this kanji, so move on to the kun’yomi / vocab.
Vocabulary
Make sure you know the meaning of this word before moving on (and the reading too, if you can swing it).
a 示す（しめす）＝ To Indicate
- Meaning: Verb form of the kanji. This is used for things like “the data indicated that ….”
- Reading: The kun’yomi reading (you can tell because it has hiragana sticking out) part you have to remember is しめ. The data indicates that she may (しめ) like you.
