furthermore, still, yet

About this kanji

The kanji 猶, pronounced as "ユウ" in on'yomi and "なお" in kun'yomi, conveys the idea of "furthermore," "still," or "yet." It typically appears as a noun but can function similarly in compounds. For example, 猶予 (ゆうよ) means "postponement," suggesting a delay; 執行猶予 (しっこうゆうよ) refers to a "stay of execution," a legal term; and 起訴猶予 (きそゆうよ) signifies "suspension of indictment," another legal context. You might also encounter 猶太 (ユダヤ), meaning "Judea," important in historical contexts. One point to note is that this kanji often carries a formal or literary tone, making it more common in written Japanese.

Example sentences

• 猶等はその意義を考えるべきだ。

  We should still consider its significance.
