Clear, obvious in Japanese 🇯🇵

あきらか info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word あきらか:

– Visualize something becoming clear, like a fog lifting to reveal a landscape. The clarity of the scene can help you remember that あきらか means "clear" or "obvious."
– The “akiraka” sound can be associated with the English word "clear" (akira resembles "clearer").
– Breaking it down: “aki” can remind you of “clear” autumn skies, and “ra ka” sounds like "like"—so, "clear like autumn."
