About this kanji
The kanji 賃, pronounced 'chin', primarily means fare, fee, hire, rent, or wages. It is most often used in nouns rather than as a verb since it describes various types of payments or costs. For example, 運賃 (うんちん) means passenger fare, 家賃 (やちん) refers to rent for a house, and 賃金 (ちんぎん) signifies wages paid for work. Additionally, 賃貸 (ちんたい) is used for leasing property, while 賃上げ (ちんあげ) means a wage increase. Note that this kanji does not have a kun'yomi reading, so it's primarily found in these compounds.
Example sentences
部屋の賃は高い。
The rent for the room is high.
