Boat

on’yomi kun’yomi Radicals
せん ふね + +

Meaning: Boat

If you have something with fins and a mouth, you can probably assume it’s a fish. If you add a sail to this fish, you have yourself a nice little boat.

Or a giant boat, perhaps? Imagine yourself riding a giant fish with a sail stuck in it. What an awesome boat you have. It can swallow up smaller ships whole for you, if you like.

Reading: せん

What do boats do? They send you across the ocean.

Also think about someone giving you some letters to send as well.
