paragraph, nape of neck, clause, item

About this kanji

The kanji 項 (こう) primarily means 'item' or 'clause' and can also refer to the 'nape of the neck.' This kanji is typically used in nouns rather than verbs. Some common compounds include 項目 (こうもく), meaning 'item,' and 事項 (じこう), which translates to 'matter' or 'thing.' Another example is 条項 (じょうこう), meaning 'clause,' often used in legal or formal texts. This kanji is versatile and applicable in various contexts, especially when listing or describing specific points or terms. Remember, while it can refer to physical parts like the nape, its everyday use leans more towards abstract items or terms.

Example sentences

• この項目は重要です。
