About this kanji
The kanji 資 primarily means "assets," "resources," or "capital." It is commonly used in nouns rather than verbs. One representative compound is 外資 (がいし), which means "foreign capital," often referring to investment from outside the country. Another is 資格 (しかく), meaning "qualifications," which relates to credentials or certifications. You also have 資金 (しきん), meaning "funds," which can refer to money available for a specific purpose. It's worth noting that while this kanji does not have a kun'yomi (Japanese reading), its on'yomi (Chinese reading) is very useful in various contexts, especially in business.
Example sentences
彼は豊富な資源を持っている。
He has abundant resources.
