警 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
県警けんけい
prefectural police
警視庁けいしちょう
Metropolitan Police Department (Tokyo)

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.
