察 in useful words

Learn the character in complete words, because its pronunciation can change with context. Read each word aloud, connect it with the meaning, and then cover the reading to test yourself.

警察けいさつ
police
検察けんさつ
criminal investigation; prosecution
査察ささつ
inspection (for compliance); investigation (tax, etc.)

Choose your next practice

For reading, cover a word’s pronunciation and recall it before checking. For handwriting, hide the stroke diagram and write the character from memory. An isolated reading list is a reference; the word determines which sound you need.
