About this kanji

The kanji 「載」 primarily means to ride, board, or place something. It can function as both a verb and a noun, but you’ll see it more often in compound words. Some common compounds include 記載 (きさい), which means mention or citation in a document, and 掲載 (けいさい), which refers to the publication of articles in newspapers or magazines. Another example is 連載 (れんさい), meaning serialization, often used for stories released in parts. A key point to remember is that this kanji emphasizes the act of placing or loading something, whether it’s a physical object or information.

Example sentences

  • 新聞にその事件が載った。

    The incident was reported in the newspaper.
