About this kanji
The kanji 「搬」 primarily means to convey, carry, or transport. It is mostly used in compound words rather than as a standalone verb. Some common compounds include 運搬 (うんぱん), which means transport; 搬送 (はんそう), meaning to transport something, often in logistics; and 搬入 (はんにゅう), referring to the act of bringing in heavy objects like furniture or artwork. You may also see 搬出 (はんしゅつ), which means to carry out these items. A usage note: while 「搬」 itself isn’t used in everyday speech, its compounds are commonly encountered in contexts such as shipping, moving, or art exhibitions.
Example sentences
重い荷物を搬送するのは大変だ。
Transporting heavy luggage is difficult.
