About this kanji
The kanji 「誌」 primarily relates to written documents or records, often focusing on publications. It is commonly used as a noun rather than a verb. You’ll find it in words like 雑誌 (ざっし), which means magazine, and 日誌 (にっし), meaning journal. Another example is 週刊誌 (しゅうかんし), which refers to a weekly publication. There are also phrases like 誌上 (しじょう), meaning in a magazine, and 誌面 (しめん), which translates to a page of a magazine. This kanji is particularly useful when talking about printed materials, so you'll come across it often while reading about various forms of media.
Example sentences
