sated, tired of, bored, satiate

About this kanji

The kanji 飽 (ほう) primarily means to be sated or to be tired of something. It can function as both a noun and a verb, but you'll often see it used in compound words. For example, 飽食 (ほうしょく) means eating until full, while 飽和 (ほうわ) refers to saturation. The verb form, 飽きる (あきる), means to get tired of or to become bored with something. A useful expression is 飽くまでも (あくまでも), meaning to the end or persistently. This kanji captures the idea of reaching a limit, be it with food or interest, so it's often connected to feelings of excess.

Example sentences

• 彼は食べ物に飽きてしまった。

  He has grown tired of the food.
