Guide, Lead

みけび (く)

JLPT N2

Interesting Fact

Tour guides in Japan are called ガむド or ζ‘ˆε†…δΊΊ, but the kanji 導 appears in many important words such as ζŒ‡ε°Ž (guidance) and 導ε…₯ (introduction). Teachers, coaches, and managers all provide ζŒ‡ε°Ž to help others improve.

Memory Trick

Imagine holding a lantern while leading travelers safely through a dark forest. Guiding others along the correct path helps you remember 導 means 'to lead' or 'to guide.'
