Approve, Praise, Support

Interesting Fact

In newspapers, politics, business, and formal writing, you'll frequently encounter words such as 賛成, 賛同（さんどう）, and 賛否（さんぴ）. 賛同 means agreeing with or supporting an idea, while 賛否 literally contrasts “approval” and “disapproval.” This makes 賛 particularly useful for reading Japanese because once you recognize it, you can quickly understand whether a sentence is talking about support, agreement, or praise. 📰👍
