About this kanji
The kanji 賠 (ばい) primarily represents the concept of compensation or indemnification. You will frequently encounter this character in nouns rather than verbs. For instance, 賠償 (ばいしょう) means 'compensation,' while 賠償金 (ばいしょうきん) refers to the 'indemnity payment' you might receive after an accident. Another common term is 損害賠償 (そんがいばいしょう), which means 'restitution' for damages. A special usage note is that this kanji is often seen in legal and insurance contexts, particularly when discussing responsibilities for damages and financial obligations.
Example sentences
彼は賠償金を支払った。
