Comb in Japanese 🇯🇵

くし info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Imagine combing through strands of hair delicately.
– Associate the "ku" in "くし" with the comb's motion (up and down, like the 'u' shape).
– Visualize a comb as something that 'cushions' the strands of hair, remembering "cushion" sounds like "くし".

Explanations:
– "くし" means comb, an object used to arrange or untangle hair.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 櫛 (くし, kushi) – The kanji for comb.
– コーム (Kōmu) – Borrowed from the English word "comb".

Alternate meanings like slang:
– There aren't commonly used slang meanings for "くし", but it can sometimes be part of expressions or be used to mean "skewer" when referring to cooking (串, also pronounced くし).
