levy, ode, prose, poem

About this kanji

Some common compounds include 月賦 (げっぷ), meaning "monthly installment," which you might see in financial contexts, and 賦課 (ふか), meaning "levy," used in discussions about taxes or charges. Another interesting compound is 天賦 (てんぷ), which refers to "natural talent," indicating something innate.
