Meaning: Matter, Affair
There’s a cow that’s the leader of your village. That’s weird. To make things weirder, all matters and affairs have to be brought to her for inspection.
You have a dispute with a friend, so you have to write everything up and bring it to the cow leader. The cow leader moos at you, and makes a decision. It’s just weird, is all. The cow has her hooves in all the people’s affairs. Not cool.
Reading: けん
To make things worse, the cow’s assistant is a Ken (けん) doll. The cow makes a voice for the Ken doll, making pretend that it’s talking to you.
Just thinking about this situation should be weird enough to remember the reading, though you can bring the Ken doll to life, if that will help.
Vocabulary
There’s actually no words for you to learn just yet with this kanji. There will be fairly soon, though, as you learn more kanji in the future.
