About this kanji

The kanji 達 (たつ) primarily means to reach or to attain something. It is often used as a verb but also appears in nouns. For example, the compound 達成 (たっせい) means achievement, referring to the successful completion of a goal. Another compound, 友達 (ともだち), means friend, indicating connection or companionship. You might also see 調達 (ちょうたつ), which means supply, often used in business contexts. A quick usage note: while 達 is versatile and can be added to words to imply a sense of completion or companionship, it’s essential to pay attention to the context in which it is used.

Example sentences

  • 彼は目標を達成した。

    He achieved his goal.
