Dictionary

One place to look up a word, a single kanji, or a grammar pattern. Search however you have it — the spelling, the reading, romaji, or the English meaning — and a conjugated form will resolve to its dictionary form. Every entry says where it is taught on this site, because this is the same dictionary the kanji, vocabulary, grammar and reading sections all read from.

Four ways in, one entry

  • 禁止 — the spelling, if you can copy it
  • きんし — the reading, if you heard it
  • kinshi — romaji, if you cannot type kana
  • prohibition — the English, if you only know what you mean

Or browse by level instead: kanji, vocabulary, grammar.
