院 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.

下院かいん
lower house; lower legislative chamber
病院びょういん
hospital; clinic; doctor's office; doctor's surgery; infirmary
参院さんいん
House of Councillors (upper house of the National Diet of Japan)
衆院しゅういん
House of Representatives (lower house of the National Diet of Japan)

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.
